More or Less Equal? Australian Income Distribution in 1933 and 1980

Ian McLean and Sue Richardson

The Economic Record, 1986, vol. 62, issue 1, 67-81

Abstract: Utilizing information in the 1933 census we estimate several measures of individual and household income inequality for that year. Allowance is made for the effect of the Depression on the 1933 income distribution, revealing a clearly adverse impact. Comparisons with recent years indicate marked declines in aggregate income inequality.
