Luxembourg’s share of total income accruing to the bottom 10 percent of earners has fallen markedly over the past four decades, declining from 4.10 % in 1985 to a 2025 level of 2.80 % (rank 36 globally). The indicator reached its all‑time peak of 4.20 % in 1993 before sliding to a trough of 2.50 % in 2018, after which a modest rebound occurred. Compared with peers of similar rank, Luxembourg’s 2025 share is virtually identical to the Slovak Republic’s 2.80 % and only marginally below Chad’s 2.84 % and Georgia’s 2.84 %, while slightly above Iran’s 2.78 %. The long‑run downward trajectory suggests that policy measures aimed at strengthening progressive taxation or expanding social transfers would be required to reverse the decline, whereas continued economic growth without redistributive reforms is likely to keep the share near its current low level.
