Intressant är att det denna vecka, då de fattigaste fick sin 500-batting, också kom en undersökning som visar att i relationen rika vs fattiga, så är Thailand mest ojämlikt i hela världen. Man seglar i år upp på förstaplatsen och passerar därmed Indien och Ryssland. Lite siffror för de intresserade samt även de som verkar behöva lite perspektiv på livet. Notera särskilt skillnaden mellan 2016 och 2018:
A study released by the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databook 2018 has shed light on some disturbing trends looming for Thailand.
Now, taking first place from Russia and India, Thailand has been ranked as the most unequal country by the study.
To put things into perspective, here are a few of the statistics you can find in the report.
-
Thailand 2016, 58% of the Country was owned by 1% of the richest Thais
-
Thailand 2018, 66.9% of the Country was owned by 1% of the richest Thais
-
Russia, previously ranking first, sees the 1% control 57.1%, down from 78%
-
Turkey’s 1% control of 54.1% of the country’s wealth, overtakes India in which the richest 1% control 51.5%, down from 58.4% last year
-
In no other country in the world, apart from the top four, does 1% of the population control more than 50% of the wealth
-
Belgium leads as the most financially-equal country with 1% of the population controlling 20.1% of the wealth
