These factors determine the share of income distributed in the form of wages and salaries vis-a-vis profits and rents. In addition, income distribution depends on access to (and the quality of) education, tax policies, social protection, non-discrimination laws and philanthropy. As discussed in the next section of this chapter, direct taxes and social protection can play a powerful role in ameliorating market income inequality. Production is also driven by the demand for a country's goods and services, which are in turn affected by demographic factors, access to financial services and policies such as consumption taxes and other fiscal measures.
