1988년부터 2008년까지 전 세계인을 소득 수준에 따라 100개 분위로 세웠을때 실질소득 증가율이 얼마인지 나타내는 표이다. 이 모양이 코끼리 모양과 비슷해서 코끼리 곡선(elephant graph) 라고 한다.
각각 percentile은 다음과 같은 기준으로 구성되어있다고 한다. (세후 기준!)
- A family (of four people) living on $3K a year was at the 55% percentile (3000$로 살아가는 가족 -55%)
- A family living on $30K annually would be at the 80th percentile (30000$로 살아가는 가족-80%)
- A family 160K a year would put you into the global 1%. ( 160,000 $로 살아가는 가족 01%)
Hustle. Finally, Thomas Friedman made it very clear that the World is Flat (affiliate link). We have the pressure, privilege, ability, curse, freedom, and mission to prove our value through our words and deeds. It is a gig economy. The days when the government, the company, the “anything” would provide you entitlements are gone / going away.
Gratitude. For me, there is a real lack of thankfulness in the world. Overall, no one actually got poorer during the last 20+ years, which is an accomplishment. Also, if you look at the elephant chart, look at the poorest among us. The people who like on $2 a day. Those folks were living on $2 a day in 1988, and now they are living on $2.40.
Any thoughts? Wonder if this was as thought-provoking for you, as it was for me.
