| Abstract: | This thesis analyses the effect of urbanization, secondary education, employment in agriculture and GDP on income inequality in developing countries in context of the Sustainable Development Goals programme. A panel data analysis on unbalanced panel of 99 countries in time period 1991 - 2017 is performed. Significant negative effect of education on income inequality has been found in the whole time period and the effect of employment in agriculture changed from positive to negative during the time period, suggesting that action directed at helping farmers in developing countries may deliver desirable effects. |
