As some analysts have postulated that income inequality (i.e., the concentration of high income among a relatively small percentage of population), the 13 countries were ranked according to two measures of income inequality, the first (earned income) based on income before taxes and social welfare transfers and the second (disposable income) based on income after taxes and social welfare transfers. No relationship between primary care orientation and income inequality is noted, with some primary care oriented countries (e.g., UK) being highly income inequitable and some poor primary care oriented countries (e.g., Belgium) relatively low in income inequality.
