Gini-koefficient

The Gini coefficient (Gini-koefficient) is a statistical measure of how unevenly income is distributed in a country. The measure is expressed as a number: a lower value means more even distribution, a higher value greater differences. It is used by researchers and public agencies to compare countries and to track how income distribution changes over time.
