Finance:List of sovereign states by wealth inequality

From HandWiki
Short description: none
A map showing Gini coefficients for Wealth within countries for 2019.[1]

This is a list of countries by distribution of wealth, including Gini coefficients. Wealth distribution can vary greatly from income distribution in a country (see List of countries by income equality).

Higher Gini coefficients signify greater wealth inequality, with 0 being complete equality, whereas a value near 1 can arise if everybody has zero wealth except a very small minority.

Countries that have high-quality wealth taxes and honest reporting from financial institutions, such as the Netherlands and Norway , tend to have more reliable wealth inequality statistics.[2]

List

The table below is for 2008, 2018, 2019 and 2021. The GDP data is based on data from the World Bank.[3] The population data is based on data from the United Nations .[4] The Wealth Gini coefficients from 2008 are based on a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.[5] The Wealth Gini numbers come from the Global Wealth Databook 2018 by Credit Suisse.[6] Also the Gini Wealth coefficients for 2019[7] and 2021 are shown.[8]
