          Summary note
          Examines labour supply and demand and their impact on the wage structure. Explains the sources of income inequality, and the disincentive effects of attempts to produce a more equal distribution. Labour supply is considered in relation to the incentives which individuals have to provide labour services. Observes that heterogeneity in worker skills and employer demands often tempers the outcomes that would be expected in frictionless labour markets.
