Pareto’s Law

Pareto’s Law
/pə'ri:təυz lɔ:/, Pareto Effect /pə'ri:təυ ɪˌfekt/ noun
the theory that incomes are distributed in the same way in all countries, whatever tax regime is in force, and that a small percentage of a total is responsible for a large proportion of value or resources.
Also called eighty/twenty law
COMMENT: Also called the 80/20 law, because 80/20 is the normal ratio between majority and minority figures: so 20% of accounts produce 80% of turnover; 80% of GDP enriches 20% of the population, etc.
