Gini coefficient based on adjusted income

A new version of the Gini coefficient is added to the collection of tables on household and individual income inequality: a coefficient based on adjusted income, which takes into account household size.

This publication presents:

• statistics produced for the Gini coefficient based on adjusted income;
  the two concepts used to calculate the coefficient, i.e., unadjusted income and adjusted income;
• recommendations for the use of each version of the coefficient;
• results compared according to the two versions of the coefficient; and
• the new indicator produced using adjusted income for all individuals, which is useful for international comparisons.
