Developing countries have made major efforts to quantify wealth inequality, using information from tax records or special surveys identifying holdings of assets and liabilities (financial surveys).38 In countries for which information exists, studies find that wealth is far more unequally distributed than income (Davies and Shorrocks, 2000). Pension rights are sometimes included. Moving towards the collection of information on wealth in the region thus remains a pending task. The main one is probably the issues involved in properly capturing incomes in the upper part of the distribution.
