英文摘要：
  Recent work has shown that a country\'s productive structure constrains its level of economic growth and income inequality. Here, we compare the productive structure of countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with that of China and other High-Performing Asian Economies (HPAE) to expose the increasing gap in their productive capabilities. Moreover, we use the product space and the Product Gini Index to reveal the structural constraints on income inequality. Our network maps reveal that HPAE have managed to diversify into products typically produced by countries with low levels of income inequality, while LAC economies have remained dependent on products related to high levels of income inequality. We also introduce the Xgini, a coefficient that captures the constraints on income inequality imposed by the mix of products a country makes. Finally, we argue that LAC countries need to emphasize a smart combination of social and economic policies to overcome the structural constraints for inclusive growth.

中文摘要：
最近的研究表明，一个国家的生产结构限制了其经济增长水平和收入不平等。在这里，我们将拉丁美洲和加勒比国家（LAC）的生产结构与中国和其他高绩效亚洲经济体（HPAE）的生产结构进行比较，以揭示它们在生产能力方面日益扩大的差距。此外，我们使用产品空间和产品基尼指数来揭示收入不平等的结构性约束。我们的网络图显示，HPAE成功地实现了产品多样化，这些产品通常由收入不平等程度较低的国家生产，而拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的经济体仍然依赖于收入不平等程度较高的产品。我们还引入了Xgini系数，该系数反映了一个国家生产的产品组合对收入不平等的限制。最后，我们认为拉丁美洲和加勒比国家需要强调社会和经济政策的巧妙结合，以克服包容性增长的结构性制约。
