Income Inequality can be defined as a gap or disparity of income distribution between certain segments of a population. In simple terms, the country gets divided into concentrations of income, with some sectors contributing in extremely high proportion to the GDP as compared to others. First, a pandemic like COVID-19 stops daily wage activities which are necessary for this infrastructural development, and second, the devoid of daily wage work for the rural sections leads to loss of domestic income. Automation, in itself, also leads to job displacement which favours skilled based job creation. Second, a pandemic where close contact activities come to a halt, automation of the economic sectors would be the path undertaken by most governments. The paper further dives into this automation construct, where we analyse the impact of these automation technologies on income inequality. Thus our paper talks about impending automation of certain sectors of the economy and how COVID-19 could influence automation, thereby, influencing income inequality.
