Länder nach ihren Einkommensgruppen, 2024

I don’t feel very high income.

Japan and Russia high income? Lol. Outside of Moscow, the average salary of people is around $500. It’s the same in many Eastern European countries and also Kazakhstan and the Balkans. In Japan, the average median salary is about $2,500 per month. When they put an equal sign on the high level of income between the US and Japan, where the difference reaches 3-4 times, it’s funny. In China, only the big cities on the east coast have high salaries. In other places it’s somewhere around $300-500 a month. In Turkmenistan, the salary is $150-300, but it’s green on the map. In some Western European countries, the South is poor and people there earn around 1,500 euros a month, which is 4-6 times lower than in countries with the same color for example North Europe. In Belarus, people outside of Minsk earn $200-400.

I’m surprised about Ukraine and Russia.
