It does matter whether wealth is considered for the total household, per
capita, equivalized, or whether the individual is the unit of analysis. The results
differ in levels of inequality, but developments from 2015 to 2016 are all in the
same direction. A great benefit of our approach is that we have a fully consistent
dataset on micro and macro level, allowing us to make a joint analysis of income
and wealth inequality. This offers a completely different insight compared to a
separate income or wealth analysis. In the end wealth inequality can be very high
or very low, depending on concepts, perspective, or the dimensions included
