Zusammenfassung:This article examines income inequality in the urban, rural, and estate sectors in Sri Lanka, applying the disaggregated Gini coefficient and the decomposed Theil index. Two income inequality phases have appeared in Sri Lanka during the 1963-86/87 period. First, income inequality declined between 1963 and 1973 reflecting Sri Lanka's welfare state system. Second, income inequality increased between 1973 and 1986/87, particularly within the urban and rural sectors, while declining in the estate sector after 1973. (DSE/DÜI)
