Definition of Gini in English: Gini(also Gini coefficient) noun ˈdʒiːniˈjēnē Economics A statistical measure of the degree of variation represented in a set of values, used especially in analysing income inequality. an increase in the Gini coefficient suggests that income is becoming more unevenly distributed Example sentencesExamples - The greater the income disparity between tenths of households, the greater the bowing of the curve away from the diagonal line and the higher the Gini coefficient.
- A Gini coefficient of zero indicates a perfectly equal income distribution, and inequality is said to increase as the Gini coefficient gets higher.
- In less than a decade, the Gini coefficient literally doubled, from around 0.3 to 0.6.
- Despite relatively high per capita income, the income distribution is skewed, with a Gini Coefficient of 0.7.
- In the urban areas, inequality prior to the reforms was remarkably low, with a Gini of 0.185 in 1977.
OriginFrom the name of Corrado Gini (1884–1965), the Italian statistician who developed the measure.
