Map: How the world’s countries compare on income inequality (the U.S. ranks below Nigeria) Bluer countries have better income equality. Redder countries are more unequal. Data: CGDev, DIIS. (Max Fisher/The Washington Post) The way we measure income inequality is changing. After years of relying on a complicated metric called the Gini coefficient, some economists argue that we should adopt the Palma ratio, which measures the gap between the rich and the poor in a society. In the map up top, I've illustrated the latest data on income inequality around the world, as measured by the Palma. The countries that come out looking best include, no surprise, the usual suspects of Northern Europe. The countries with the highest income inequality are, by far, those of Latin America and the southern tip of Africa. The United States doesn't come out of this comparison looking great. The data offer a reminder that the United States might enjoy greater economic equality than much of the world, but it is at the bottom end of the developed world.
