These factors include the distribution of productive assets (particularly land), the
distribution of education opportunities, the employment intensity of development path and the
general policy stance of government… It is possible to prevent large income disparities

that places high priority on an equal distribution of agricultural land, universal access to
primary and secondary education, labour-intensive methods of production and a pattern of
international trade that reflected the relative availability of resources (Griffin, 1989).
