Abstract

The construct of inequal distribution of income and wealth in an economy is known to bring about other ancillary issues like decrease in literacy rate, lower levels of health parameters and other social conditions. This study aims to assess the extent of explicability of the variations in inequality in distribution of income and wealth across nations, measured by Gini Coefficient, by the variations in Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture. Linear multivariate regression analysis has been done to achieve the objective.
