The Inequality Transparency Index shows that no country in the world is fully transparent about the measurement of wealth and capital income inequality 👉wid.world/transparency
🔹The wealth of the 0.01% rose from less than 8% of total wealth in 1995 to nearly 12% today. 🔹The entry threshold of this group was €7,8mill(PPP) in 1995 and now €21,9mill. 🔹The gap between the top 0,01% and the bottom 50% is now 50% higher than what it was in 2008.
Today the top 10% own nearly ¾ of the world’s wealth, while half the world’s population is almost entirely deprived of wealth.
