Income inequality in Europe since the crisis

In this article, we follow this view and present data on income inequality trends in the aftermath of the economic crisis in EU15 countries, distinguishing among the various components of disposable incomes, in order to specify the role played by each of the links listed above. We cluster EU15 countries according to the four usual geographical groups highlighted by the welfare regime literature, i.e. Nordic, Continental, Anglo-Saxon and Southern, and we compare data about income inequality for these country groups.
