Income distribution in Finland and the factors affecting it 1971–1996

The Labour Institute for Economic Research has published a study titled “Income Distribution in Finland and Factors Affecting It, 1971–1996.” The study examines the development of income distribution simultaneously across different types of income and income recipient groups.

The aim of the study is to analyse how different income components and the characteristics of income recipient groups affect the overall income distribution of the population. The measure of income distribution used is the Gini coefficient, which is commonly applied in income distribution research.

The study was authored by Senior Researcher Ilpo Suoniemi and funded by the STS Foundation. (AI translation)
