ABSTRACT
This article suggests a Government policy for improving the Brazilian income distribution which relies on the application of a formula that makes increases of productivity be shared according to the relative wages of workers. In a context in which short-terrn constraints - specially the inflation - are not as important as they were until recently and structural problems tend to be the main aim of Government policy, the conclusions of this article are that a better income distribution can be obtained if the economy continues to grow at sufficient high rates and that this could happen provoking losses on the earnings of some income classes.
