My personal opinion is it makes a good starting point. Further examination adjusts the percentages to be greater or lesser making the split more accurate. Basically it is like all heuristics, useful to make an on the fly judgement but not to make precise decisions. Precise decisions require precise information.
And furthermore, as a superior, 20% of your staff not only cause 80% of your problems and use up 80% of your precious time, they are also responsible for 80% of your quality issues and 80% of your absentism rate. I found that out, after having statistically analyzed these figures in different teams.
A LOT of companies rely on this to justify all kinds of poor management choices, like distribution of bonuses and raises, firings and hiring, promotions, and customer service. It is far better to do the research and statistical analysis.
80% of people will make the error of conflating category with entity. E.g., the 20% of Italians who own 80% of Italy change over time (because of death, bankruptcy, etc.).
I see this at work...20% of us provide 80% of the productivity. Seeing as the remaining 80% of people get to stay and be lazy/useless, can you guess who's productivity has dropped off over the years? My favourite response these days is "As soon as you get the rest of the crew doing that/that much, I'll join in."
I use the rule as a way to constantly prioritize, to do this you have to keep determining the 20%, you can't do it just once, and of course, for the rule to work, issues/customers/etc can't all be equal
I don't think we should be asking how or where does this work but rather why does this work there are a lot of patterns in nature like golder ratio and fibanachi sequence to name a few but why? are they the result of some other properties of the universe if so what does that mean???
If reality was just complete, random chaos, we wouldn't be here to perceive it, nothing would. That anything is worth any note at all is is both reason and result of the universe having some order in it. You wanna ask why? That's what Faith is for. You wanna find out how far this goes and what can be done with it? That is the work of Science.
Technically, there is. If you know the basics or fundamentals of a given subject (i.e. the "20%") you either already know or easily deduce a large remainder of said subject (i.e. the "80%"). For example, if you know the basic facts of WWII, you should be able to deduce the answer to the majority of the answers on a WWII test without having to study or memorize those particular answers and questions. Problem is so many districts (at least in the US) focus on getting kids to be "creative" that learning, memorizing, and utilizing the basics gets pushed to the side. As a result, you get kids who can create a bunch of projects, but never actually know what is their project was about.

Is the warning of Pareto maybe worth another video? I've often heared of paretos principle but never of that warning and it sounds like it applies to many cases.
Always thought of this ratio to the difference between college an university, where colleges are 20% theoretical, and 80% practical, and vice versa for university.

Food and entertainment. In a week, eat 80% healthy food and 20% not (so) healthy and go out 20%. 20% that would be fast food, candies, chocolate,... and going out, having fun on Friday and Saturday afternoon/night.
I refuse to believe in the universal use of this rule. I can see that it may be true for some cases but it looks very to be useful in limited circumstances.
I wonder if this rule really just results from normal distribution statistics. Of any normal distributed sample 80% will be about 1.5 standard deviations from the mean, leaving 20% in the extreme tails beyond 1.5 standard deviations (Roughly). So saying 20% of the work leads to 80% of the outcome is erroneous. You still have to do 100% of the work, you can't cherry pick that magic 20% out of the sample. Really its of your total work, 80% will be representative of your mean productivity with 20% being outliers from extreme good or bad performance. So if you can figure out why 20% of your work was abnormal and mitigate that you can potentially improve your mean productivity. Goes to show patience, perseverance, and planning are the main ps of productivity.
Pareto found the rule was different in different countries. In Eastern Europe it was a 90%/10% rule; 90% of the land was owned by 10% of the population. In the UK it was a 70%/30% rule; 70% of the land was owned by 30% of the people.
Software engineering uses a modified version of this rule to explain why projects overrun: 20% of the work takes 80% of the time, and the other 80% of the work takes the other 80% of the time.

what are you referring to? The pareto principle is based on work done by statistician Vilfredo Pareto in the 19th century.. it's statistical, not random. what does a farm have to do with it?
Besides being an economist, Pareto was also a sociologist. Sociology gave him an opportunity to theorize about man and society in a way different than most economists, who wrongfully view people as always-rationally-acting-creatures. On the other hand, Pareto stressed man's irrational behavior and his proclivity to interpret this type of behavior as rational. He taught that society is unavoidably divided into elites and masses and that all those Marxist dreams about egalitarian society are mere wishful thinking. When you think of it, it seems that Pareto actually taught that his principle applies to society - elites are the 20% of general population doing the 80% of the most creative work.
The pareto principle was never a principle. If you go back and read Pareto’s original text that started this whole mess it was originally an observation in 1906 in Italy that 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the people. Everything after that was simply assumptions and oversimplification of complex situations, stop spreading this hazardous meme. It is not a universal law
