In a majority of countries, redistribution has declined since the mid-1990s - in absolute terms (column 4) and often more strongly as a percentage of the market-income Gini (column 5). The same is true in Norway, although the accelerating growth in market-income inequality nevertheless resulted in a less equal distribution of disposable income. In the United States, the Gini coefficient for market incomes rose by eight points between the late 1970s and the mid-2000s, but redistribution increased only very slightly, offsetting less than one tenth of this increase (column 7). Israel and the United Kingdom are two other countries where only a small part of the increase in market-income inequality has been compensated over the period as a whole.
