Is Japan's Income Distribution Equal? An International Comparison

Author

  • Tadao Ishizaki

Abstract

The discussion of the issue of equalizing income distribution is based on the size distribution of income. It is difficult, however, to decide how far the equalization should proceed or what degree of equalization is acceptable. For this reason, it is important to learn how Japan's position compares internationally. Let us conduct an international comparison in order to examine the degree of inequality of income distribution, which is an important index of welfare in relation to the stage of economic development.
