Addition of a measure of household and individual income inequality
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.
