Abstract

A Gini Coefficient has been implied to measure the inequality in distribution of land in 34 districts
of Punjab province, Pakistan. There are large regional inequalities in distribution of land. Based on the study
further policy options are proposed including: reducing the market imperfections; land reforms to re-distribute
the land assets to landless farmers and the marginal farmers.
