Student project shedding light on the world's income inequality
The Robin Hood Calculator visualisation tool is designed by KTH students to help you understand the income distribution around the world. By taxing the rich and giving to the poor.
Use the tool to explore how you can save people from extreme poverty by taxing different income levels. The taxing system taxes the world's richest and redistrubutes it to the ones with lowest income. You can also tax the world's 10 wealthiest people separately.
How many people can you save from extreme poverty by taxing Elon Musk with 99,9 % of his net worth? And how much does the world's 10 wealthiest people earn compared to the 600 million people in extreme poverty?
