Distribution of Income The total income of a country is not shared out equally, so there is an uneven distribution of income. This is because of; 1. Wages 2. Other incomes

Redistribution of income. This is a UK Government Policy: redistribution of income in order to reduce inequalities of income, between individuals and households. This is done by taking more taxes form higher income groups and give more income (benefits) to lower income groups. Such benefits are called ‘transfer payments’.
