Abstract

The author finds that an increase in the income of the agricultural sector relative to that of the non-agricultural sector decreases income inequality. The growth rate of agricultural production and the proportion of the labor force in the non-agricultural sector were also found to be negatively correlated with income inequality. (DSE)
