Approach to the causes of economic inequality
Keywords:
Economic development, income distribution, regional analysis, international development connectionsAbstract
The following paper will try to present an alternative approach to the economic inequality problem. To do so, a wide range of topics under a macroeconomical perspective will be analysed, including: the economic development, rent distribution amongst workers, a regional view of the economy, and the international connections of development. The stated hypotheses concern the relationship between economic growth and inflation; also, how does an increase in the economically active population affect the distribution of incomes. In addition, the author shall reach numerous conclusions, such as the dichotomy between the short and long terms on inflation, the increase in inequality when the GDP of underdeveloped countries increase, and the
inverse relationship between economically active population and the Gini coefficient.
