This paper surveys the literature on the effects of fiscal consolidations on inequality and　highlights the contributions made by researchers. Several conclusions can be drawn. First, fiscal　consolidations can harm income distribution (income inequality). Besides, this impact is greater　when fiscal consolidations are driven by reductions in expenditures. Concerning the impact of tax-based　fiscal consolidations, the literature is not consensual. Some studies find that tax-based fiscal　consolidations reduce income inequality, while others find the opposite. Second, studies highlight　that the composition and size of fiscal consolidations might affect the redistribution of income.　Moreover, they point out that the initial economic conditions might impact income inequality through　fiscal consolidation measures.
