In Italy, 20% of the population with the highest incomes can count on income in excess of six times that of those in the most difficult quintile.
The data is contained in a new Eurostat statistic which relates the different income groups from which it emerges that this gap in our country in 2018 increased from 5.92 to 6.09. The top was reached in 2016 with 6.27.
Italy has the worst ratio between the most populous countries with Germany at 5.07, France at 4.23, the United Kingdom at 5.95 and Spain at 6.03, down sharply on the previous year.
