5. Switzerland

Average Rank: 6.5

Switzerland maintains a relatively stable income distribution, with the top 10% consistently earning about one-third of total national income before and after government redistribution. Switzerland’s strong economy and employment opportunities, coupled with its dual education and training system, help limit income disparities. The richest 10% of Swiss citizens pay approximately 51% of all income tax, while a progressive federal tax balances tax competition among cantons.
