Net wealth inequality and wealth share by wealth percentile, Member States, 2021
Net wealth inequality and wealth share by wealth percentile, Member States, 2021
Countries are ranked from lowest to highest level of wealth inequality (data for Poland refers to 2017 instead of 2021) as measured by the Gini index, which ranges from values of 0 (maximum equality) to 100 (maximum inequality). The bars show the wealth shares of certain percentiles of the wealth distribution. For example, the red sections show the wealth shares of the bottom 50% of the population in the total net wealth of the country.
