The findings of the present study can be used for the government officials, policy makers and organizations working for socioeconomic development through poverty reduction in Iraq, moreover, the study also presented a model for less developed countries like Iraq to make the findings of this study as benchmark. The paper is concluded not before some of the suggestions and policy guidelines are proposed to reduce the gap caused by disparities in the distribution of Income in Iraq.
