Longer Run Changes in the Distribution of Income in Australia

The Economic Record, 1993, vol. 69, issue 4, 353-366

Abstract: This paper brings new evidence to bear on the question of changes in income distribution amongst individuals in Australia between 1942–43and 1989–90. The changes observed over this period are analyzed in the context of previous studies of the changing distribution of income in Australia over the past 80 years. The main conclusions of the paper are that the distribution of individual income in J 989–90is very similar to that estimated for 1942–43, and there is evidence that income inequality has been increasing during the 1980s
