Income inequality and relative poverty among the total population remained broadly unchanged between the mid-1980s and late 2000s, contrasting with the rising trends in much of the OECD (Figure 2.2). Alternative distributional indicators over the period 1986-2009 confirm these findings for Greece (Table 2.1). Social outcomes are proxied by both distributional (income and poverty measures) and non-distributional indicators (including labour market and health indicators). Measures the extent to which income distribution among individuals or households deviates from a perfectly equal distribution (OECD, 2013a).
