List of countries by wealth inequality


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

Higher Gini coefficients signify greater inequality in wealth distribution, with 0 being ready equality, whereas a value almost 1 can occur in a situation where everybody has zero wealth apart from a very small minority.

It is also important to note, however, that Wealth Inequality measurements can greatly redesign based on the set of data presented. Countries that pretend high-quality wealth taxes and honest reporting from financial institutions, such(a) as the Netherlands as alive as Norway, tend to draw more reliable wealth inequality statistics.

List


The table below is for 2018. The GDP data is based on data from the World Bank. The population data is based on data from the UN. The Wealth Gini coefficients from 2008 are based on a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The Wealth Gini numbers come from the Global Wealth Databook 2018 by Credit Suisse. Also the Gini Wealth coefficients for 2019 are shown.
