| You're right Janice, they have. There's a recognised measurement of how income is distributed in a country. The Gini coefficient. Countries with the greatest inequality have a higher score. South Africa has the highest score Slovakia the lowest. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gini-coefficient-by-country A search on each country as to whether they are a good place to live highlights the effect inequality has on quality of life for the majority of people; Slovakia is a good place to live for those seeking a safe, affordable, and centrally located European country with stunning natural scenery and a lower cost of living compared to Western Europe. While it offers high safety, good public transport, and a stable EU economy, expats may face challenges with a difficult language, bureaucracy, and lower average salaries. South Africa offers a high-quality, affordable lifestyle with a wonderful climate, beautiful landscapes, and diverse culture, making it an excellent choice for those with a high income. However, it presents significant challenges, including high crime rates, severe inequality, and infrastructure issues (load shedding), which often require living in secure, wealthier areas |
