I would guess it looks at a cross section of society from your McDonald's sweeper-upper to your Chief Exec of an international.

In Switzerland, although not perfect, everyone seems to get the same treatment whether you are cleaning McD's or making boardroom decisions. I think poverty in the US might slew the results for them where the poor probably get a rough deal, equality-wise.

It's interesting that the UK rates fairly high in the table. You read every other day about some "terrible" breach of equality rights in the media.
Agreed, I would be interested in seeing how they got to results. I will look later. Inequality between the sexes is very different thing than income equality and a correct study would differentiate rather than paint a false picture. I don't think men and women Mcdonald cleaners are treated differently....
