title: Intraregional income distribution and poverty:  some investigations for the Netherlands, 1960-81.
abstract: "This paper is addressed to intraregional income inequalities in the Netherlands.  Various concepts are used to measure the degree of regional poverty.  In addition, dissimilarity between intraregional income distributions is studied.  At the provincial level, relatively small and decreasing dissimilarities are observed.  However, at lower spatial levels (especially within metropolitan areas) much larger dissimilarities in mean income and income distribution occur.  In the Netherlands, urban poverty has become a more intense and widespread phenomenon than rural poverty."
