Just wondering, has the wealth distribution changed in that time?
- nosse 15y agoIt has gone worse, the rich are richer, and the poor are poorer.
- lautis 15y agoWealth distribution did become more even from 60s to mid 80s, but after that the trend has reversed.
- jlmendezbonini 15y agoA bit, not that much according to these numbers: Finland: Mid-2000s 2000 Mid-1990s 1990 Mid-1980s Mid-1970s 0.269 0.261 0.228 n/a 0.207 0.235 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=alwWIHsCf9g4&refer=economy http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a... For a more comprehensive data set see: http://www.lisdatacenter.org/data-access/key-figures/inequality-and-poverty/ http://www.lisdatacenter.org/data-access/key-figures/inequal... If you happen to have access to an even more comprehensive data set, please share. I'm mainly interest on the Gini coefficient overtime and its relation with GDP or GDP per capita to answer questions like: Did Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Norway, etc developed maintaining a low income equality?, Which country has significantly lowered its income equality over the last 50 or so years? Are they highly developed now?, Has there been highly unequal countries that were able to successfully reduce and become developed?

Statistics Finland provide data about income distribution, but not much about wealth.
