Abstract
L'inégalité des revenus est un sujet profond. Ma recherche ne vise en aucun cas à couvrir tous les aspects du sujet. À mon humble avis, la compréhension de l'inégalité des revenus, en dehors de la recherche statistique, nécessite une étude approfondie de la société humaine, de l'histoire et de la philosophie. Les statistiques n'aident pas à résoudre les questions d'inégalité des revenus en soi. Néanmoins, les statistiques fournissent une approche pour la mesurer. Cette recherche doctorale se concentre sur les questions relatives à la mesure de l'inégalité des revenus. Elle se concentre sur l'objectivité des mesures de l'inégalité des revenus, la précision de leur estimation et la quantification de l'incertitude de l'estimation.
