Keywords: | Earnings;Gender inequality;Intra-household;Theil decomposition | Issue Date: | 2016 | Conference: | Political Economy of Emerging Market Countries: The Challenges of Developing More Humane Societies Organized by Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance, Princeton University in partnership with Georgetown University India Initiative & Indian Institute of Management, 2-3 January, 2017, Calcutta | Abstract: | Intra-household inequality continues to remain a neglected concept despite renewed focus on income and wealth inequality. Using the LIS micro data, we present evidence that this neglect is equivalent to ignoring up to a third of total inequality. For a wide range of countries and over four decades, we show that at least 30 per cent of total inequality is attributable to gender inequality in earnings within the household. Using a simple normative measure of inequality, we comment on the welfare implications of these trends. | URI: | https://repository.iimb.ac.in/handle/2074/14610 |
