Abstract

A cikk a jövedelemeloszlás magyarországi trendjeit tekinti át az elérhető KSH- és Tárki-adatbázisok alapján. A jövedelmi egyenlőtlenségek népességcsoportok szerinti tényezőkre bontásának segítségével vizsgálja meg, hogy milyen átrendeződések történtek az egyenlőtlenségek szerkezetében 1987 és 2001 között. Megállapítja, hogy miközben a rendszerváltás táján jelentős volt az egyenlőtlenségek növekedése, és az aggregált mutatók a kilencvenes évek második felében már nem mutattak emelkedést, figyelemreméltó belső átstrukturálódás zajlott le az utóbbi időszakban is. Míg 1987-1992 között inkább a háztartások foglalkoztatottsági szerkezetében bekövetkezett változások befolyásolták a legerősebben az egyenlőtlenség alakulását, utána folyamatosan és markánsan az életkor-jövedelmi profilok megváltozása gyakorolta a legnagyobb hatást az egyenlőtlenségekre. A változatlan összesített mutatók mellett jelenlevő belső szerkezeti mozgások magyarázatot adhatnak arra a látszólagos paradoxonra, amely a közvélemény helyzetérzékelése és a jövedelemstatisztikák adatai között fennáll. Journal of Economics Literature (JEL) kód: D31, O15.
