The World Inequality Report 2018 is an up-to-date account of global trends in inequality. The Report is based on WID.world –  the most extensive database on the historical evolution of income and wealth distribution. The project regroups more than 100 researchers over 5 continents and is 100 percent transparent, open source and reproducible. Researched, compiled, and written by a team of the  leading economists of inequality, the Report seeks to fill a democratic gap and to equip actors of society with the necessary facts to engage in informed public debates on the subject matter.
