Abstract: Relatively higher income disparities are regarded as the characteristic phenomenon of the less developed countries and as a rule, the income concentration increases with economic growth during early stages of development [1l,p.25]. In general, the more rapid the growth during early stages, the more intense the development of income inequality. The underlying reasons for this development are two. First, the development-conscious governments of the less developed countries, in order to raise investment, allow income disparities to widen. Second, the resource mobilization policies often lag behind and fail to cope with the continuing growth process and the resources tend to concentrate among resource owners.
