Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

OECD Income Distribution Database (CC BY 4.0). Income after taxes and cash transfers, adjusted for household size. The latest year differs by country. Colombia has no figure on this definition. The companion chart sets each country’s child rate against its overall rate.

The share of children growing up in relative poverty in each OECD country: in households with less than half the typical income in their own country, after taxes and benefits.
