Lithuania's income share for the bottom 10% of the population has experienced a significant decline over the past three decades. The indicator peaked at 3.50% in 1993, shortly after the country gained independence from the Soviet Union. However, this trend reversed in 2009, with the income share reaching an all-time low of 1.80%. Since then, Lithuania has been gradually increasing its income distribution, with the share for the bottom 10% standing at 2.06% in 2025. This is still a relatively low rank globally, below countries such as Chile, which has a similar share of 2.04%. The improvement in Lithuania's income distribution is a positive development, but it still lags behind some of its peers, such as Türkiye, which has a slightly higher share of 2.07%. The trajectory of Lithuania's income distribution is expected to continue improving as the country implements policies aimed at reducing income inequality, although significant challenges remain.
