Robina Guda index: if the richest gave their money to the poorest

What would be,
If the rich people in each country
He gave all his money to the poor? poorest
people in Sweden would have very much,
and the poor in India - is very small. but there was
the world would be better if the richest
equally distributed to the poor their billions?
Bloomberg News has tried to
to answer these questions by creating an index
Robina Guda (Robin Hood Index).

analysts
We have 42 countries with different demographic
and economic situation, and then
identified richest in each country,
They estimate their condition and were divided into
number of people living below the poverty line
in this country.

Robin index
Hood It shows how much could
get all of those living in poverty,
if the assets of the richest citizen
country to redistribute among them
equally (count was conducted in dollars). AT
as the data sources were taken
two indices - Bloomberg Billionaire Index and the CIA World
Factbook. In the first five index - the most
rich people from Cyprus, Sweden, Taiwan,
Switzerland and Austria.

So, if
look at the US, the money of the rich
person country - Bill Gates - divided
least of all the poor and each received $ 1,736 (about 15% of the population lives in
poverty). Much more modest and looks worse
The situation in India - if you divide
fortune of $ 19.2 billion Mukesh Ambani,
wealthy residents, each poor
will receive only $ 59 (about
30% of the population - the poor), but these
the money would be enough for 118 meals for the price of 35
Rs (50 cents). In China, the poor divided
money would Jack Ma (Alibaba founder
Group) and each got
if only for $ 234. If
divide the money of the rich
Russians Alisher Usmanov at all
the poor, they will receive $ 1,029.

Cyprus and
Sweden, the poor would receive the most
- for $ 45987 and $ 33149, respectively, but here
the same figure goes to extremes
and banality. The population of Cyprus in all
1.1 million people, and there is quite a high level of
life, and in Sweden the highest value
GDP per capita.

Of course,
quantitative benefits in each case
It must be considered individually,
because in all countries on a dollar
you can buy absolutely different sets
products or something else in the local
currency. In addition, the concept of "hell
poverty "is also different from country
to country. However, the modern Robin
Hoods probably would not much help
the poor, if they wanted to - they are unlikely to
money could improve the lives of those
who need it.
