| Credit Suisse Annual Global Wealth Report
4 | Credit Suisse produces an annual global wealth report and an annual global wealth databook. It seeks to capture net wealth, taking into account all assets and debt. It provides measurements of overall wealth per country, as well as looking at the pattern of distribution of wealth within countries. |
| European Quality of Life Survey
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | The EQLS is a European wide survey run by Eurofound. It is conducted every five years and has a focus on general living conditions as well as issues of social support, loneliness and exclusion. An online analysis tool is available though it is likely that downloading micro data would be the best approach to analyse fully across indicators and measures. |
| European Social Survey
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | The ESS is a biannual survey conducted across almost all of Europe. It is very comprehensive, covering topics of interest including health, the family, personal wellbeing and participation in many different cultural, business and community spheres. Data are freely available and cover a comprehensive level of disaggregation including aspects of gender, disability, income levels, age and education levels. An online analysis tool is available though it is likely that downloading micro data would be the best approach to estimate the range of inequality measures within the Framework. With this online tool it is possible to look at how privilege and disadvantage overlap across indicators and measures. |
| European Working Conditions Survey
4 | The EWCS is a European wide survey run by Eurofound which is conducted every five years. It is a specialised survey focused on the terms and conditions of employment and economic activity outside the household. An online analysis tool is available though it is likely that downloading micro data would be the best approach to disaggregation of inequality measures. |
| Eurostat
1 2 4 | Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union. It collates information from many different surveys and sources and covers all EU countries. The database has information on many different themes including employment, health, education, living conditions and quality of life. Information is generally disaggregated by gender and age and sometimes by other characteristics such as income status and education levels. It is difficult to access micro data via this site, as researchers need to submit a request for recognition as a research entity as well as a research proposal to gain permission. However, there is an online analysis tool that can be used to extract information. |
| International Labour Organisation Forced Labour Platform
4 | This is the ILO's platform on forced labour. It aims to have global coverage and to collect information from as many countries as possible. Though there is global data provided on the site, there is also a lot of qualitative information, with many special reports on different industries and different countries. |
| ILO Stat
4 | The ILO provides a lot of information related to employment, sectoral and occupational characteristics and job quality, earnings, health and safety at work, as well as on aspects such as trade unions and strikes. The data reported here are gathered through other instruments and collated. This includes reporting all of the national Labour Force Surveys available online. The ILO's statistical coverage is nearly global and there is good reporting of data for many developing countries. It is not possible via this site to get access to micro data but you can find out the underlying sources being reported and investigate these further. Disaggregation by gender is common. However, other levels of disaggregation depend on the underlying source and so vary. |
| OECD Stats
4 | OECD Stats collects data for OECD countries as well as some non-member countries (Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Lithuania, Russia, South Africa). Data are collected on a wide range of topics including social protection, social expenditure by sector, income distribution and poverty. It is one of the few sources of data on measures such as 'indebtedness' and 'housing costs overburden'. It is not possible to access micro data via this site but you can analyse and extract data using the online tools. |
| PovCal, World Bank
4 | This World Bank database is a very useful source for data on income and consumption inequality. It has near global coverage and spans several decades. Information is, to an extent, standardized across countries. The site provides an online analysis tool that can be used to download the data you need. |
| Sustainable Development Goal Indicators Global Database
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | This global database has been set up to track progress against the SDGs. You can select your country and view all indicators and information available across a wide variety of areas including health, education, water and sanitation, energy, poverty, employment and many more aspects. The level of disaggregation available varies a lot between countries. It may be useful to use this source as a starting point to find out the underlying source of information (a mapping between our inequality measures and SDG indicators is provided within the Framework). You can then consult this source directly and potentially find more disaggregated information available. United Nations, Sustainable Development Goal Indicators Global Database |
| World Wealth and Incomes Database
4 | The World Wealth and Income Database (WID.world) was initially created as The World Top Incomes Database in January 2011 but was renamed in December 2015. It aims to provide open and convenient access to the most extensive available database on the historical evolution of the world distribution of income and wealth, both within and between countries. Efforts are ongoing to expand the time and geographical coverage of the database, in particular for the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. |
