The INCOME framework was designed to be inclusive, that is, to use arranges applicable to diverse clients (men and women young and ancient different ethnicities and sexual orientations, minority and majority cultural backgrounds, with and without disabilities), to encompass universals from a wide range of career theories, and to insinuate a variety of career interventions applicable to each status. Furthermore, the INCOME framework allows researchers to propose theoretical constructs of career unfolding and career interventions into a frequent frame of reference. The framework itself, its six constituent statuses, the actual relevance of the moveed interventions for each of these statuses, and the reach of applicability of the framework across diverse populations ne to be empirically exhibitioned At the same time, because INCOME is intended as a framework for organizing as broad a range of career theory universals and interventions as possible, it would not be consistent with its function to compare the INCOME framework with any single theory or intervention. Part of the rationale for proposing INCOME is that no existing career disclosure theory is a complete and comprehensive theory (Savickas & Lent 1994) nor is there through all ages likely to be one. Moreover, from grouping constructs from a variety of theories within a single INCOME status, each status is necessarily broader in full play than any individual concept from any given theory. Interventions are no other than to be included within the INCOME framework if their effectiveness has been empirically demonstrated. Thus, the INCOME framework is not intended to replace any career theory or intervention. It is not in competition with them unless seeks to integrate and enhance their contributions. When alternative frameworks are propos however, the merits of the INCOME framework should be trialed against them.
