| Description |
Inequality decomposition by factor components is extended to the Mehran and Piesch indices, comparing them with the decomposition of the Gini index, the squared coefficient of variation and the Theil's T coefficient. The decomposition procedure is applied to the distribution of per capita household income in Brazil in 1999, considering six components: earnings of civil servants and military personnel, earnings of other employees, earnings of self-employed workers, earnings of employers, pensions and, finally, all other incomes. One of the results is that for all the five measures used, the concentration ratio of pensions is higher than the overall index of inequality, indicating that this component is contributing to the increase in income inequality.
A decomposição da desigualdade conforme parcelas do rendimento é estendida aos índices de Mehran e Piesch, comparando-a com a decomposição do índice de Gini, do quadrado do coeficiente de variação e do T de Theil. O procedimento é aplicado à distribuição do rendimento domiciliar per capita no Brasil em 1999, dividindo-o em 6 parcelas: rendimento do trabalho de militares e funcionários públicos, rendimento do trabalho de empregados, rendimento do trabalho dos conta-própria, rendimento do trabalho de empregadores, rendimento de aposentadorias e pensões e uma parcela com os demais rendimentos. Um dos resultados é que para todos os 5 índices utilizados a "razão de concentração" de aposentadorias e pensões é um pouco maior do que a medida geral de desigualdade, indicando que esses rendimentos estão contribuindo para aumentar a desigualdade. |
