Introduction:

The sensitivity of demand for a product relative to changes in income is called INCOME ELASTICITY. Income elasticity is the quantity of a product demanded when the income of a consumer changes while other factors remain the same. As and when the income of any person changes, his needs and desires also change accordingly therefore, depending upon the increase or decrease of income the consumers will change their demand for the product.
