Use our interactive tool to explore how the income distribution within and between countries has changed over time.
For up to seven countries of your choice, for the period between 1980 and 2014, you can:
- create a ‘skyscraper’ diagram, like the one below,
- view the Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients, and
- compare the rich/poor ratio of incomes within each country.
The interactive visualization builds on Figure 1.2 in The Economy and Figure 1.1 in Economy, Society, and Public Policy.
