Gini Index

The Gini Index is a widely used measure of income inequality within a country. It is expressed on a scale from 0 to 100, where:

  • 0 represents perfect equality, meaning everyone in the society has the same income.

  • 100 represents perfect inequality, where all wealth is concentrated in the hands of a single individual or group.
