Abstract

[fre] La base de l'article est une répartition entre les foyers fiscaux du patrimoine brut des Français en 1975, estimé antérieurement. Cette répartition est fondée pour l'essentiel sur l'enquête de l'INSEE sur les revenus fiscaux de 1975. Elle permet d'évaluer la concentration des patrimoines qui apparaît beaucoup plus forte que celle des revenus : les 10% de foyers les plus fortunés détiennent 57% du patrimoine brut des particuliers. La composition du patrimoine dépend de son volume : les grandes fortunes sont constituées surtout d'actions et d'immobilier de rapport, les petites de liquidités et de résidences principales. Au patrimoine de rapport caractéristique des inactifs et des cadres supérieurs du secteur privé, s'opposent le patrimoine domestique prépondérant chez les autres salariés et le capital professionnel,' important surtout pour les indépendants. Un gros patrimoine n'implique pas nécessairement des revenus élevés et, inversement il existe des foyers à hauts revenus et faible patrimoine : ces éléments confirment la complexité du lien entre patrimoine et revenu. [spa] La base del artículo consiste en una distribución entre los hogares fiscales del patrimonio bruto de los Franceses en 1975 valorado con anterioridad. Dicha distribución estriba mayormente en la encuesta del INSEE relativa a ingresos fiscales de 1975. Permite valorar la concentración de los patrimonios la que aparece mucho más importante que la de los ingresos : el 10% de los hogares más acaudalados poseen el 57 % del patrimonio bruto de los individuos. La composición del patrimonio depende de su volumen : las mayores fortunas están constituidas mayormente por acciones y bienes inmobiliarios de renta, las pequenas, por liquidez y fincas de residencia. Frente al patrimonio de renta, característico de los inactivos y cuadros superiores del sector privado, se halla el patrimonio doméstico que es préponderante entre los demas asalariados y el capital profesional, espacialmente importante con relación a independientes. Un elevado patrimonio no implica necesariamente ingresos elevados y, a la inversa, existen hogares de elevados ingresos y escaso patrimonio : estos elementos confirman la complejidad del vínculo que existe entre patrimonio e ingreso. [eng] The main purpose of this article is to provide a breakdown of the gross assets of fiscal households in France in the year 1975. This breakdown is primarily based on the INSEE surveys on the declared incomes of 1975, and it makes it possible to show that the concentration of assets seems to be far greater than the concentration of incomes, as the wealthiest 10 % of households own some 57 % of the gross assets held by private individuals. - The composition of assets varies with its volume : large fortunes are primarily composed of stock and profit-yielding real estate, while smaller holdings consist mainly of liquidities and a primary residence. Profit-yielding assets characterize the non-active' population and high- level executives in the private sector, as opposed to the primarily house-related assets of the other categories of salaried labor and the professional capital prevalent among the self-employed. Large assets do not necessarily imply a high income and, inversely,' there are households having a high income but low assets. The facts show that the relationship between assets and income is a complex one.
