[1] World map of the GINI coefficients by country. Based on World Bank data ranging from 1992 to 2018.

This is a list of countries or dependencies by income inequality metrics, including Gini coefficients. The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds with perfect equality (where everyone has the same income) and 1 corresponds with perfect inequality (where one person has all the income—and everyone else has no income).

Income distribution can vary greatly from wealth distribution in a country (see List of countries by distribution of wealth). Income from black market economic activity is not included and is the subject of current economic research.[2][3]

Key:

R/P 10% The ratio of the average income of the richest 10% to the poorest 10%. R/P 20% The ratio of the average income of the richest 20% to the poorest 20%. Gini Gini index, a quantified representation of a nation's Lorenz curve. A Gini index of 0% expresses perfect equality, while index of 100% expresses maximal inequality. UN Data from the United Nations Development Programme. World Bank Data from the World Bank. CIA Data from the Central Intelligence Agency's The World Factbook.





Other estimates for the World: Gini = 63.0 in 2006 (Lafuente et al, 2006).[10]
