Figure 2. Extreme wealth inequality is persistent and increasing

Figure 3. Wealth has grown much more for the already extremely wealthy

Figure 4. The wealthiest account for much more of global emissions

Figure 5. Women persistently receive lower labor income than men everywhere

Figure 6.a. After including domestic labor, women earn only 32% of men’s hourly income

Figure 6.b. After including domestic labor, women earn only 32% of men’s hourly income

Figure 7. Inequality between regions is also immense

Figure 8.a. Income and, even more, wealth are extremely concentrated at the top in every region

Figure 8.b. Income and, even more, wealth are extremely concentrated at the top in every region

Figure 9. Some countries face the double burden of low incomes and very high inequality Top 10/bottom 50 income gaps across the world, 2025 Top 10/bottom 50 income gaps across the world, 2025 Interpretation. This map shows the ratio between the income share of the top 10% and the bottom 50% of the population in each country in 2025. Income is measured after pension and unemployment benefits are received by individuals, but before other taxes they pay and transfers they receive. Sources and series: Chancel and Piketty (2021) and wir2026.wid.world/methodology.

Figure 10. Inequality can be reduced with progressive taxation and transfers

Figure 11. Large inequality of opportunity across regions

Figure 12. The ultra-rich escape progressive taxation

Figure 13. The international financial system generates more inequality

Figure 14. Privileged countries face lower liability costs by political design, not market dynamics

Figure 15. We need political action but political coalitions are difficult to form

Figure 16. Divides between large cities and smaller towns have reached levels unseen in a century

Figure 17. Without redistribution, political inequality will increase

Figure 18. Minimum taxation can safeguard progressivity at the top and its revenue can decrease inequality
