Gini coefficient – Household disposable income, index

Description

To account for the uneven distribution of income, the Gini coefficient is used. The coefficient can take a value between 0 and 1. A high value of the coefficient shows greater unevenness than a low value. The Gini coefficient refers to disposable income per consumption unit. Disposable income is the sum of all taxable and tax-free income minus taxes and other negative transfers. Consumption unit refers to a weight system where consumption is related to household composition. Disposable income is divided by the household consumption weight.
