Isi artikel

This article investigates the contribution of inter - regional disparity to total national inequality in household expenditure, by decomposing national inequality into within - and between - province components. This is done by applying the Theil inequality decomposition technique to household expenditure data from the National Socio-Economic Survey. Whereas inter-provincial disparity accounted for 12 - 14 % of total inequality among urban households and 7 - 8 % among rural households, urban - rural disparity accounted for 22 - 24 % of total national inequality. A Kuznets curve drawn according to the 1993 Susenas data indicates a peak inequality value of 0.27 (using Theil index T) when the share of urban households reaches 53.2 % ; this share is much larger than the actual 1993 urbanisation level of 32.1 %. Further urbanisation is therefore likely to raise total inequality, even if other conditions remain stable.
