How far apart are the incomes of the rich and poor in different countries?
This chart, titled "How far apart are the incomes of the rich and poor in different countries?" compares the monthly after-tax income of individuals in the richest 10% and the poorest 10% across various countries. The income disparities are represented visually with vertical lines and circles for each country, showing the ratio between the two groups. For instance, in South Africa (2017), the richest 10% earn 22 times more than the poorest 10%, while in Norway (2021), the richest 10% earn only 3.1 times more. Other countries included are Brazil (2022), China (2018), Uruguay (2022), the UK (2021), and the US (2022), with the disparity ranging from 3.1x in Norway to 22x in South Africa. All incomes are measured in international dollars at 2017 prices to account for differences in the cost of living. Data source: Luxembourg Income Study (2024).
