| description | Economic growth
is one of most important indicator in order to evaluate macroeconomic
performance of countries. Thus, increase in gross domestic product, expressed
as economic growth, is considered as an indicator of economic prosperity.
However, despite the economic growth of countries, it is observed that income
distribution equality, which is an important indicator of economic prosperity,
is not provided. On the contrary, income distribution inequality is increasing
day by day all over the world. In this study, the relationship between economic
growth and income distribution inequality has been analyzed by examining the
secondary data and literature. As a result of the study, it is concluded that
economic growth is not sufficient to reduce the income distribution inequality.
In addition, the problem of income distribution inequality is not only the
problem of developing countries, but also the problem of developed countries.
Therefore, all countries which wishing to solve this problem, should review
their economic policies and adopt policies that would cover all segments of
society and provide equal opportunities to all member of society. For example,
in the provision of basic needs, education, health, social security and
entrepreneurship, all member of the society should benefit from public
facilities at an adequate level. |
