| Research Abstract |
Using data on both developed and developing countries(USA, Germany, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, and Indonesia), this project makes an international comparison of income inequality and reveals actual situations and characteristics of income inequality in these countries. The project also studies reasons for housing inequality and low incomes in rural areas to support results of the analysis of popular inequality indexes. Furthermore, it uses results of the analysis in proposing policies to improve income inequality and policies to coordinate international society.
