ABSTRACT
One of the major realizations among development economists has been that the dual goals of economic growth and economic equity may not be compatible. The Economic Structure of a country may tend to concentrate income in a few hands. This may have to do with the ownership of property and wealth, location of specific resources such as minerals. Direct governmental economic activity can have an impact upon inequality. Most studies of fiscal activities show that the exert only mild redistributive pressures within most economies. One of the primary factors associated with income distribution is the quantity and quality of human resources. Economists and policy makers have already declared income distribution to be a major concern in developing countries, occupying a status similar to economic growth. The role of small enterprises in economic growth and development is little understood.
