The 80:20 rule originated from Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist who studied the distribution of wealth in a variety of countries in the late 1800s. He discovered a common phenomenon: about 80% of the wealth in most countries was controlled by a consistent minority - about 20% of the people. Pareto called this a “predictable imbalance”.
In about 1941, Pareto’s writings were discovered by Dr Joseph Juran, and popularized under the name “Pareto Principle”. Juran was working in the field of quality control, and stated the principle in the form “80% of problems come from 20% of causes.”
The 80:20 rule has been expanded far since its uses in economics and quality control. One might quibble about the 80% or 20% (it is sometimes 60:40 or 90:10), but the term is normally used to reflect the notion that most of the results (of a life, of a program, of a financial campaign) come from a minority of effort (or people, or input).
