Ethical Indices of Inequality, now than it was in the past? (ii) Is income inequality in region B less than that in region C? (iii) Is post-tax income profile more equal than the pre-tax income profile? (iv) What are the contributions of different income sources to the aggregate inequality in region A?

For example, an ethical relative inequality index determines the fraction of total income that could be saved without any welfare loss if society distri­ buted incomes equally. Ethical indices contrast with descriptive indices which are de­ rived w

These value judgements are referred to as ’equity preference’ and ’efficiency preference’ respectively.

Indices of income mobility are meant to measure the magnitude of these changes. Indices of relative mobility measure changes in relative incomes while indices of absolute mobility measure changes in income differences.

Additively Decomposable Indices of Poverty,the subgroup poverty levels. Clearly, this will enable us to calculate a particular subgroup’s contribution to total poverty. Hence this type of poverty breakdown becomes suitable for identifying causal factors of poverty and in choosing and implementing poverty alleviation policies.
