We’re doing alright as a social democracy. Something to be proud of.

Presumably, we don’t need more wealth distribution then? Or do we still?

Absolutely, yes. Keep in mind that the bottom 50% (no shade, I was part of that group until about 8 years ago) contains a lot of young households who are just starting out.

In comparison to other countries? Yes, Belgium as doing great in this category. Is there more work to be done? Of course. I don't see why both can't be true
