Comprehensive empirical data and studies document the long-term evolution and trends of global economic inequality across multiple countries.

The analysis

Papers [0] and [1] provide empirical data and comprehensive overviews documenting global income inequality trends across countries, directly supporting the claim. Paper [2] is tangential as it discusses a theoretical growth model rather than global inequality data.
