摘要：Income inequality is a frequent research theme in economical literature, due to its importance in rendering the condition of economical cohesion within society. Income inequality has multiple causes: resource endowment, skills, competences, attitude towards risk, chances etc. Problems appear when income inequalities are casued by various forms of discrimination. A consecrated instrument used for analysing income inequality is the Gini index. This research aims at analysing the inequalities amongst incomes subject to gender, according to the Dacum decomposition of the Gini index, using a Visual Basic Application macro-order. The purpose of this research is to analyze wage discrimination based on gender in the labour market using the Gini index, a consecrated instrument in analysing income inequality. As research methodology we used the Dacum decomposition of the Gini index, employing a Visual Basic Application macro-order. In order to carry out this study we used as a database two polls performed at the national level, namely Economical and Social Cohesion and Access on the Labour Market – A Chance for You. The conclusion of the research is that income inequality, in Romania, between women and men is not very high; only for Romany population, the inequality is particularly high within each group. This situation shows the existence of a lack of homogeneity in the distribution and the characteristics of the workplaces occupied by women.
