Nunca é demais lembrar

Eurostat calculates the following ratio to compare ’rich’ and
’poor’: total equivalised income received by the 20% of the
population with the highest income in relation to that received
by the 20% of the population with the lowest income. The 20
% of the EU-25 population with the highest income received
almost five times as much income as the 20% of the population
with the lowest income in 2004. The widest inequality was
recorded in Portugal (7.2), while the Nordic Member States, the
Czech Republic (2003), Hungary (2003) and Slovenia (2003)
reported the lowest inequality ratios (between 3.1 and 3.5).
