Tables 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9, below', provide a more detailed analysis of the factors influencing inequality by decomposing the contributions of the various income sources to overall inequality in any given year. It is important to be clear that such decompositions are comparative static exercises, explaining factor contributions in each of the three years rather than exploring the role of changes in factors on changes across years. Thus, they do not explain changes over time but are helpful in showing whether changes have happened over time by comparing the situation in each of the three years.
