Hello, betekiristian-ga!
Income inequality is an economic indicator which measures the "gap
between those at the top, middle, and bottom of the income scale."
From "Any way you cut it." Economic Policy Institute. (September,
2000)

Income inequality is at the root of the question - "Are the rich
getting richer while the poor are getting poorer?"
The Census Bureau routinely measures income levels among American
households, and while many factors are known to contribute to income
inequality, there are still many causes which are not entirely
understood.

The following articles provide various discussions about income
inequality:

strongly suggest causation."
