Abstract: The distribution of income is so deeply embedded in the structure of an economy and society that it can create social and political upheavals. The misplacement of the enthusiasm about the trickle down effects and reorientation of development policy from a concern with economic growth and industrialization toward an explicit concern with equity and distribution date back to the late 1960s. The experience of many developing countries of rapid economic growth during the 1960s led to growing concern about income distribution.1 In fact, a substantial number of empirical evidence indicates that in the process of development, if not properly designed, a number of groups lose ground. It is, therefore, most important to explore how much can be done to improve the pattern of income distribution in the developing countries like Bangladesh through the expansion of sectoral activities. Our study explores this issue
