SPDC RESEARCH BULLET POINT Rural households are generally distinguished in accordance with their access to agricultural land. According to the latest Pakistan Agriculture Census 2010, only 34 percent of rural households are engaged in the crop sector. However, this percentage is somewhat higher in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces; the lowest proportion is observed in Sindh province (Table 6.12). Thus it is worth estimating separate levels of income inequality across farm and nonfarm households. The inequality coefficients for diverse sources of income associated with the nature of primary activities will provide some clue regarding the sources of overall income inequality in rural Pakistan. spdc.org.pk/Publication_detail.aspx?sysID=762
