  1. Simon Kuznets predicted that income distribution in capitalist countries would become more equal as the labour force became more educated, and the subsequent development of human capital theory—with its estimated relations between individual education/training and earnings pointed in the same direction. See S. Kuznets, ‘Economic Growth and Income Inequality’,American Economic Review, Vol. XLV, No. 1, May 1955.

The simulation techniques used the coefficiens of Lobo's regression results for 1960 and substituted variable values of 1970. We then compared these with 1970 regression results using 1970 variable values.
