Abstract
The part of outcome inequality, which can be attributed to the unequal circumstances is considered as unfair and it is designated as inequality of opportunity in the outcome space. In this study we reckon this inequality of opportunity in the distribution of weekly wage and education in India by invoking two alternative methods of reckoning inequality of opportunity. Furthermore, it is evaluated from the results of estimations that inequality of opportunity in the distribution of labour market outcome can be attributed to the poor circumstances to achieve education, as the groups with poor circumstances in education as identified by the parametric model are the groups having greater percentage of opportunity inequality in the distribution of weekly wage. This finding corroborates the existence of a vicious cycle from low educational achievement to low earning to low educational achievement in India.
