gini coefficient
The Gini coefficient is a statistical measure used to quantify the level of income inequality within a population. It ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating perfect equality and 1 representing maximum inequality. A lower Gini coefficient signifies a more equal distribution of income, while a higher value suggests pronounced disparities.
