Abstract

La littérature montre que la mesure des inégalités de revenu n’est pas suffisante pour appréhender les déterminants des inégalités. Les sources de rémunération, leurs corrélations au revenu global, leurs parts dans le revenu global, rentrent en compte dans la décomposition de la mesure de Gini, faisant aussi apparaître la mesure du pseudo-Gini. Les dernières méthodes en date sont aussi exposées afin de mettre en évidence les possibilités de généralisation dans ce domaine.
