Socio-demography and income inequality: an overview

Abstract: This discussion paper deals with connections between the variables (socio-)demography and income inequality (in a cross-sectional perspective against the background of Germany’s ageing process). Since the factors of influence and their relationships to each other are ex-tremely complex, multifactorial approaches for explaining the distribution of personal incomes seem to be obvious. In this context the discussion paper focuses on the role of (socio-)demography in explaining the measured income inequality insofar as fundamental mechanisms of action and transmission channels are main subjects of discussion. This contains an overview over former analyses concerning the questions important in this paper
