Analysis of National Income Inequality Trends
Using an online database that provides open-access data on global income and wealth distribution, select any country of your choice. Locate the data for the 'Top 10% income share' for that country, focusing on the trend over the last 20 years. In your response, first, state the country you chose. Second, describe the trend you observe in the data (e.g., is the share increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable?). Finally, analyze what this trend suggests about the evolution of income inequality in that country during this period.
