Review of Income and Wealth, 1999, vol. 45, issue 2, 263-274

Abstract: U.K. employment and self‐employment income inequality are analysed over 1979–94/95. Robust inequality decompositions reveal occupation to be a relatively important and hitherto neglected determinant of earnings inequality. In contrast, self‐employment income inequality is harder to explain, although occupation is also the most important single factor in the mid‐1990s. The paper also provides a novel implementation of a decomposition of changes in Kolm's inequality index.
