This document summarizes a paper analyzing trends in overall, within-country, and between-country inequality in Europe from 1960-2017. It finds that: 1) Overall, within-country, and between-country inequality in Europe have generally increased since the 1970s-1980s, though the timing and magnitude of changes have varied between countries. 2) Major economic and institutional events like the introduction of the Euro were accompanied by shifts between the within- and between-country components of inequality, but did not significantly alter overall inequality trends. 3) Inequality trends tend to be persistent over time, suggesting targeted policy measures are needed at national and EU levels to address the social impacts of rising inequality.
