This paper studies the age-group-specific evolution of inequality of total income among highly and less educated … associated decompositions by different income components. On the other hand, it investigates the extent to which changes in Gini … coefficients were associated with a redistribution of total income between the bottom 40 percent, the middle class, and the top 10 …

The main focus of the study is to estimate variability in income distribution of households by conducting a survey. The … variances in income distribution have been calculated by probability sampling techniques. The variances are compared and … relative gains are also obtained. It is concluded that the income distribution has been better as compared to first Household …

We specify the domain in the income distribution that includes the people to whom income transfers will not increase … inequality in that income distribution. Inspired by Sen's (1973, 1997) characterization of the Gini coefficient as a ratio … between a measure of aggregate income-based "depression" (stress) and aggregate income, we inquire as to whether in the wake …
