Abstract	Although the distribution of income has become more equitable for some groups, inequitable distribution has affected the poor, minorities, and women most adversely. Income inequality and poverty may be attributed to ability differences, education and training, job tastes, property ownership, market power, and discrimination. In economics, the concept of equity and its relevance to employment and education can best be understood through an analysis of two theories of labor markets--the human capital theory and the dual labor market theory. The theory of discrimination is important for human resource development because discrimination has been a major cause of labor market segmentation, inequity, and low incomes. Minorities, women, and other groups will continue to experience severe problems in the labor market in the 1980s. Education has been instrumental in alleviating the economics crisis of the poor, unemployed, and disadvantaged. Unemployment, however, has continued to rise, and some studies show continuing inequality in education. Since 1968 vocational education has had to be more responsive to training the disadvantaged, minorities, and handicapped. Equity programs must be developed to eliminate discrimination in vocational education. Equity considerations should be integrated at all levels of the vocational education system, including planning, administration, and specific programs. (YLB)
