I like that Turkey is included in this map of Europe, but Russia is excluded 🙂

Income implies workers through payroll.
Which isn’t a great measure of “richness”, as you’d really want to look at wealth.

It would be interesting to have the same map with “after tax”. Would be interesting to compare them and see how the tax system interacts with income disparity.

AKA, does your country actually have companies that produce something or are you just an assembly line for foreign companies.

BEFORE tax is irrelevant no?

Income underestimates the figures. The top 1% owns a lot of wealth (Real Estate and Financial Assets) and if they own companies, they prefer to have low wages (highly taxed) and instead take loans against shares or other assets to avoid taxation.

Haha, that is only declared income
Slovakia (here 7%) has been consistently marked as one the worlds most income equal countries, furthe proved by this very small share the top have on the income
But, that is because vast majority and Im talking like 99% of those top 1% rich, are rich via corruption, not via income…many of them have no or very little on paper, many dont even officially own anything…they live in properties owned by various offshored companies owned by other shill companies, where its hard to investigate legally who the end benefactor of them is (but one can safely assume its the corrupted people that live there)…
So officially we are all equally poor and the actual hard working top 1% have only a small share of the overall wealth, which makes us very equal…but unofficially corruption is as rampant as in the communism and the top 1% of those own pretty much anything of value here, and many times abroad like in france or croatian waterside
