Lee Soltow

The Review of Economics and Statistics 1965

T HE recent emphasis on the plight of lowincome groups necessitates an examination of how these groups have fared in economic progress compared to higher income groups. The pattern of inequality within higher income classes is relevant to the relative poverty of lowincome groups. A detailed examination of inequality within specified groups is made in this paper. The inconsistency of the pattern facing those in the lower portion of the distribution in the postwar period is emphasized.
