Figure 2 shows trends in the Gini coefficient for household disposable income, which increased since the early 1990s by almost eight points in Sweden, five points in Finland and four points in Denmark. By contrast, inequality in Norway was at a comparatively higher level in 1995 and remains about the same level in 2014, interrupted by a temporary increase in the mid-20oos, to a large extent driven by extraordinarily high dividends in response to a capital taxation reform in 2006 (NOU 2009).3 Lastly, a substantial decline in inequality since the crisis broke out in 2008 has shifted Iceland from near the OECD average to the most equal OECD country in 2014. This was also the case for Finland, while Denmark and Sweden have experienced more persistent upward trends in inequality.
