Abstract :This study analyses the relationship between human factors, technological advancements, global shifts, labour structure, and income inequality across 21 selected upper-middle-income and high-income countries from 2008 to 2021. The study utilises variables such as high-tech exports, the human capital index, the misery index, the share of R&D expenditures in GDP, skilled and unskilled labour, patent counts, and the Global Innovation Index. The results from the one- and two-step GMM methods indicate that skilled and unskilled labour and the human capital index have significant positive effects on income distribution. In contrast, the misery index, high-tech exports, and patent counts are found to exacerbate income inequality. However, the global innovation index does not exhibit a significant effect in either analysis.
