Income Distribution within Individual Countries
Countries' income inequality
according to their most recent
reported Gini index values
(often 10+ years old) as of
2014:
red = high, green = low
inequality
A Gini index value above 50 is
considered high; countries
including Brazil, Colombia, South
Africa, Botswana, and Honduras can be found in this category. A Gini index value of 30
or above is considered medium; countries including Vietnam, Mexico, Poland, the
United States, Argentina, Russia and Uruguay can be found in this category. A Gini
index value lower than 30 is considered low; countries including Austria, Germany,
Denmark, Slovenia, Sweden and Ukraine can be found in this category.
Various Proposed Causes of Economic Inequality
There are various reasons for economic inequality within societies. Recent growth in
overall income inequality, at least within the OECD countries, has been driven mostly by
increasing inequality in wages and salaries.
