收入分配研究假设在家庭内部平等分享资源。这一假设被批评为低估了现代社会中性别不平等的程度。在这篇文章中，提出了两种推导收入分配的替代方法，这两种方法都对家庭内部资源共享的程度做出了其他假设。第一种是根据调查数据模拟的部分分享分配；第二种是个人收入分配，即不分享资源。然后将这些方法应用于1991年瑞典生活水平调查的收入分配数据，并在假设资源平等的情况下，将各自的分布与基线分布进行比较。正如预期的那样，结果表明，男女之间的差异有所增加，但这种增加的程度略低于预期。尽管如此，该分析强调了如何将性别不平等纳入收入分配领域。
Income distribution research assumes equal sharing of resources within the household. This assumption has been criticized for leading to an underestimation of the extent of gender inequality in modern societies. In this paper two alternative methods of deriving an income distribution are presented, both of which make other assumptions about the extent of sharing of resources within households. The first is a partial sharing distribution modelled from survey data; the second is a distribution of individual income, i.e. no sharing of resources. The methods are then applied to income distribution data from the 1991 Swedish Level of Living Survey and the respective distributions are compared with the baseline distribution, assuming equal pooling of resources. As expected, the results indicate that differences between men and women increase but the extent of this increase is somewhat less than expected. Nevertheless, the analysis highlights how gender inequality can be brought into the field of income distribution.
