French Inequality: 2025 Study Reveals Shocking Income Gaps

France's Wealth Divide: A 2025 Study Reveals Stark Realities France, June 15, 2025 – A recent study by the Observatoire des inégalités has shed light on the stark realities of wealth distribution in France. The study, published in 2025, provides a detailed breakdown of income brackets, defining thresholds for poverty, average income, wealth, and extreme wealth. The video uses visuals of money to illustrate the income brackets. According to the study, the poverty line is set at €1,014 per month for a single person, a figure based on post-tax income. This is significantly higher than the minimum social benefit of €568. The video highlights this discrepancy, suggesting a considerable gap between social support and the actual cost of living. The study also defines the threshold for being considered "wealthy" in France. The video states that this threshold is set at €4,056 per month, double the median income. "The study reveals a significant gap between the minimum social benefit and the poverty line," explains Konbini, the video's creator. "This highlights the challenges faced by those living in poverty in France." The video further breaks down income brackets, illustrating the thresholds for average income and wealth. The Observatoire des inégalités' study provides valuable insights into the economic landscape of France. While the data shows a clear wealth divide, it also underscores the need for further discussion and potential policy changes to address income inequality.
