Abstract: Abstract There is a good deal of evidence that rapid industrialisation during initial stages of development coincides with widening differences in income distribution in many countries. Widening differences are particularly evident in income distribution between agriculture and non-agriculture. Productivity and income of the growing but relatively small proportion of population employed in industry tend to rise considerably faster than productivity and income of the majority of population employed in the traditional sector. This is a rather general characteristic of the development in a dual, labour-surplus economy.
