Overview

Solomon Islands's income share bottom 10% stood at 2.80% in 2012, a rise of +0.90pp from 2005. Solomon Islands ranked 41st globally.

The Solomon Islands' income share held by the bottom 10% of the population has exhibited a relatively stable trend between 2005 and 2012, fluctuating within a narrow range. At its peak in 2012, the income share reached 2.80%, a value also achieved by peer countries such as Poland and Thailand at that time. This represents a slight increase from the all-time trough of 1.90% in 2005. The stable trend observed during this period contrasts with the experience of other countries, where income inequality has been a growing concern. As of 2012, the Solomon Islands ranked 41st globally in terms of income share held by the bottom 10%. A sustained economic growth, coupled with targeted social policies aimed at reducing income inequality, could potentially alter the trajectory of this trend and lead to further improvements in the income share of the country's most vulnerable population.
