Outline of Final Research Achievements	This research examines recent trends in global income inequality, poverty and relative deprivation during the last two decades. Combining (i)GDP data from the World development indicators from the World bank and (ii)income distribution data from SWIID(the Standardized World Income Inequality Database Ver 4.1, 2014) compiled by F. Solt, we derive the world income distribution of individulas from 1990 to 2010.
