The largest increase in inequality was observed in Sweden, where the Gini coefficient increased by seven percentage points between 1995 and 2013, followed by Finland and Denmark, where the coefficient increased by four and three points respectively. By contrast, in Norway the Gini coefficient ended up only one point higher, after a temporary increase in the mid-2000s.4 However, the Nordic countries all started from low inequality levels, and remain among the most equal OECD countries measured by the Gini coefficient of disposable income (Figure 1, Panel A).
