INCOME SHARES
Figure 7.9 presents the capital and labour income shares for the Construction industry. The figure shows that the gap between capital and labour income shares is narrowing. The capital income share increased from 16% in 1985-86 to 31% in 2005-06. The Construction industry has a notable complication in the calculation of the capital and labour income shares because it has a large unincorporated sector. In 2005-06 gross mixed income was approximately 33% of Construction industry's total factor income.
