Definition

Post-fiscal Gini Index

Calculation method

The Gini coefficient, or Gini index, is defined as the relationship between the cumulative proportion of the population—ranked by equivalent income—and the cumulative proportion of the total income received by them. It serves as a measure of inequality, where a value of 0 represents perfect equality and a value of 100 represents perfect inequality. The index is calculated based on disposable income per consumption unit after taxes, social contributions, and social transfers.
