Transfers that equalise disposable incomes tend to be smaller in developing countries and to take the form of in-kind services rather than cash transfers, such as pensions. Policy makers in these countries thus may have more room for further equalising disposable incomes, particularly given the increased fiscal space that shifting wealth has afforded them. It is a topic that is examined further in Chapter 5. Changes in market income inequality are the composite result of many different forces, some of which act in opposing directions.
