South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world, with the top 10% earning 70% of all pretax income.
New study by A. Gethin & L. Czajka shows that inequality in 2019 was as high as in 1993.
Racial inequality reduced only because top 10% Black incomes surged.

Average tax rates in the US in 2019 as a share of wealth. Tax declines from 30% for percentile 20 to 4% for the top wealth percentile.
Two points missing in recent Wealth Tax debates:
- If we measure total taxes as a % of wealth (not income), the system is highly regressive
- The wealthiest pay 3%-4% of their wealth annually in taxes. Wealth Tax shouldn't be seen as starting from zero (see US data from @gabrielzucman.bsky.social)

Labor income tends to lift individuals up the distribution โ through life-cycle and human capital dynamics โ while capital income, more volatile and concentrated, is often linked to downward shifts.

๐น Measures of capital and labor mobility differ across metrics;โจ
๐น Upward mobility is mainly driven by labor income (and joint upward moves);
โจ๐น Downward mobility stems mostly from capital income (and joint downward moves).
We introduce a new framework that decomposes total income mobility into its labor and capital components across the life cycle โ covering nearly 300,000 individuals.

Together with joรซl bรผhler and Roberto Iacono, we study income mobility dynamics in Norway using 26 years of high-quality register data.
Main result: upward mobility is primarily driven by labor income โ and almost never by capital alone. (1/4)
