In a study published in 2011, the OECD found that between 1985 and 2008 real household income (adjusted for inflation) increased by 1.7% annually among its member states. The real income level of the poorest 10% of the population increased at 1.4% on average, while that of the richest 10% increased by 2% annually (i.e., while everyone got richer, the gap between the most affluent and the poorest sectors of society widened).
