Tunisia’s share of national income accruing to the bottom 10 percent of the population stood at 3.10 percent in 2021, placing the country 31st in the global ranking. The indicator rose from its earliest recorded level of 2.30 percent in 1985, reached an all‑time peak of 3.20 percent in 2015, and fell back to the trough of 2.30 percent observed in 1995, reflecting modest but persistent improvements over the 36‑year span. Compared with peers of similar rank, Tunisia’s share aligns closely with Tajikistan’s 3.10 percent and Croatia’s 3.10 percent, while remaining slightly above Burkina Faso’s 3.00 percent. The upward trajectory since the mid‑1990s suggests that continued inclusive growth policies, such as expanding social protection and improving access to quality education, could further raise the income share of the poorest decile, potentially shifting Tunisia’s position upward in future World Bank assessments.
