Abstract
The Chartbook summarizes the evidence about long-run changes in five different dimensions of
economic inequality – overall and top income inequality, poverty, earnings dispersion, and wealth
inequality – for 25 countries covering more than one hundred years. The evidence represents an
update and extension of the work done by Atkinson and Morelli (2014). The results are presented
in 25 charts, one for each country, together with a full description of the method and sources.

Purpose
The purpose of this Chartbook is to present a summary of evidence about long-run changes
in five different dimensions of economic inequality for 25 countries covering more than one
hundred  years.  The  evidence  represents  an  update  of  the  work  done  by  Atkinson  and
Morelli (2014). There is a range of countries and they account for more than a third of the
world’s population: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland,
India,  Indonesia,  Italy,  Japan,  Malaysia,  Mauritius,  Netherlands,  New  Zealand,  Norway,
Portugal,  Singapore,  South  Africa,  Spain,  Sweden,  Switzerland,  the  UK  and  the  US.  The
results are presented in 25 charts, one for each country, together with a description of the
sources.  The  underlying  figures  and  original  sources  are  available  at
www.chartbookofeconomicinequality.com.  
We aim to provide for each country five indicators covering on an annual basis:
1.  Overall income inequality
2.  Top income shares
3.  Income (or consumption) based poverty measures;
4.  Dispersion of individual earnings;
5.  Top wealth shares/ wealth inequality measures.
