This paper addresses the issue of social inequality by comparing German household data (gross income, Food‐Energy‐(Watervirtual)‐Nexus expenditures) from2008 and 2013. The distribution of gross income and of the FE(Wvirtual)‐Nexus related consumption expenditures based on this income is analysed using a three stepapproach: First, the real distribution is determined, secondly, the dispersion (based on Rawls’ philosophical concept) is analysed, and finally, the normativedistribution according to the Atkinson index is calculated to reveal a view on social inequality. The six main household groups were selected forthe cross section analysis comparing the social conditions of 2008 and 2013: self‐employed households, public servant households, white‐collar andblue‐collar worker households, unemployed households and retiree households. The three‐dimensional model delivers data about the real and normative distributionof the households’ gross income and consumption expenditures for the time period from 2008 to 2013 considering the inequality perception of society. |
