Abstract
There are many sources of income inequality – production structures, the distribution of assets, the relative power of capital and labour, political forces and social hierarchy, as well as differences in education and capability. But among these, labour market structures and institutions are of central importance. This research aims to address these issues and their implications for development policies in both Brazil and India. Policy choices in the two countries intersect, but operate in different historical and social contexts, and have had differing degrees of success.
