With regard to the share and distribution of income, wealth and growth over time, there has been much debate about whether it is regressive. It depends on one's definition of "regressive". That is one debate. However, one way to examine these matters is to chart things over time, examine what proportion of income is going to capital and labour and whether that changes over time and look at the distribution of income and wealth and see whether there are shifts and changes in it. Does the Department keep such tables and does it monitor that?
