This discussion paper deals with connections between the variables (socio-)demography and income inequality (in a cross-sectional perspective against the background of Germany’s ageing process). Since the factors of influence and their relationships to each other are ex-tremely complex, multifactorial approaches for explaining the distribution of personal incomes seem to be obvious. In this context the discussion paper focuses on the role of (socio-)demography in explaining the measured income inequality insofar as fundamental mechanisms of action and transmission channels are main subjects of discussion. This contains an overview over former analyses concerning the questions important in this paper.... view less

Dieses Diskussionspapier setzt sich - vor dem Hintergrund des bundesdeutschen Alterungsprozesses – mit Zusammenhängen zwischen den Größen (Sozio-)Demografie und Einkommensungleichheit (im Querschnitt) auseinander. Da die Einflussfaktoren auf die personelle Einkommensverteilung und ihre Beziehungen zueinander höchst komplex sind, erscheinen multifaktorielle Ansätze zur Erklärung des personellen Verteilungsgeschehens naheliegend. Hierbei fokussiert das Diskussionspapier auf die Rolle der (Sozio-)Demografie bei der Erklärung der gemessenen Einkommensungleichheit, indem grundlegende Wirkmechanismen und Übertragungskanäle zwischen Demografie und Einkommensungleichheit thematisiert werden. Dies beinhaltet einen Überblick über bisherige Untersuchungen zur hier relevanten Fragestellung.... view less
