This review of peer-reviewed academic research published since 2008, and selected campaign literature, answers 4 questions on the effects of framing on the public's understanding of, and engagement around, wealth inequality:

• How is the problem of wealth inequality communicated?
• What do we know about the effects of textual and visual frames on public perceptions of wealth inequality?
• How does the public understand wealth inequality?
• What are the barriers to wealth inequality gaining public and political salience?

Key characteristics, trends, intersections and relationships given salience by the academic literature and by campaigning organisations were identified. The review underpins the report Changing the narrative on wealth inequality.
