Ireland IE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 31.800 % in 2015. This records a decrease from the previous number of 31.900 % for 2014. Ireland IE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 32.700 % from Dec 2003 (Median) to 2015, with 13 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 33.700 % in 2005 and a record low of 30.900 % in 2008. Ireland IE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Ireland – Table IE.World Bank.WDI: Poverty. Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.; ; World Bank, Development Research Group. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. For more information and methodology, please see PovcalNet (http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet/index.htm).; ; The World Bank’s internationally comparable poverty monitoring database now draws on income or detailed consumption data from more than one thousand six hundred household surveys across 164 countries in six regions and 25 other high income countries (industrialized economies). While income distribution data are published for all countries with data available, poverty data are published for low- and middle-income countries and countries eligible to receive loans from the World Bank (such as Chile) and recently graduated countries (such as Estonia) only. See PovcalNet (http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet/WhatIsNew.aspx) for definitions of geographical regions and industrialized countries.

In 2023, Bulgaria had the highest Gini Index score in the European Union at 37.2, implying that the country had the highest level of inequality among European countries. The Gini Index is a measure of inequality within economies, a lower score indicates more equality, and a higher score less equality. Slovakia had the lowest score among EU countries for 2023 with a score of 21.6, suggesting that it is the most egalitarian society in Europe.

Gini Coefficient data was reported at 0.301 NA in 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of 0.292 NA for 2020. Gini Coefficient data is updated yearly, averaging 0.327 NA from Dec 1987 (Median) to 2021, with 25 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 0.370 NA in 1995 and a record low of 0.292 NA in 2020. Gini Coefficient data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Our World in Data. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Ireland – Table IE.OWID.ESG: Social: Gini Coefficient: Annual.

Comparing the 130 selected regions regarding the gini index , South Africa is leading the ranking (0.63 points) and is followed by Namibia with 0.58 points. At the other end of the spectrum is Slovakia with 0.23 points, indicating a difference of 0.4 points to South Africa. The Gini coefficient here measures the degree of income inequality on a scale from 0 (=total equality of incomes) to one (=total inequality).The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. All input data are sourced from international institutions, national statistical offices, and trade associations. All data has been are processed to generate comparable datasets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).

As of 2021, the countries in Europe with the greatest share of national wealth taken by the top 10 percent of wealthy people were Russia, Turkey, and Hungary, with over two-thirds of wealth in Russia being owned by the wealthiest decile. On the other hand, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Denmark were the countries with the smallest share of national wealth going to the top 10 percent, with more than half of wealth in the Netherlands going to the bottom 90 percent. Ireland, Poland, and Greece stand out, as in these countries the 50 percent of people who own the least wealth in fact have negative net wealth, meaning that the value of their debt is greater than the value of their gross wealth.
