Explaining the data
Here we have relied upon data produced for the World Incomes Database at the Paris School of Economics, available online http://topincomes.g-mond.parisschoolofeconomics.eu. This data relates to 2009 as it is the most up-to-date available. Because of data limitations figures for all, or even all the countries in the EU, are unavailable so those used are a representative sample.
