    Se examina el problema del intercambio desigual de trabajo entre países desarrollados y en desarrollo y su vinculación con las condiciones del comercio de beneficio mutuo. Para ello se utilizan los principales modelos teóricos del comercio internacional basado en las ventajas comparativas, y se amplía al caso de dos factores el concepto de relación de intercambio de trabajo derivada del comercio. Como resultado se concluye que el intercambio desigual es inherente al comercio entre países de diferente nivel de desarrollo cuando éste se basa en el beneficio mutuo, y que juega un papel en la apertura de la brecha en la renta per cápita entre dichos países.

    The problem of the unequal exchange of labour betwe-en developed and developing countries is examined, along with its linkwith the conditions of trade of mutual benefit. For this purpose themain theoretical models of international trade based on comparative advantages are used, along with an extension to the case of two factorsof the concept of exchange rate of labour derived from trade. As aresult it is concluded that the unequal exchange is inherent to the tradebetween countries with different levels of development as long as it isbased on mutual benefit, and that it plays a role in widening of the ope-ning in the per capita rent of these countries.
