Ghana GH: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate
GH: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 42.400 % in 2012. This records a decrease from the previous number of 42.800 % for 2005. GH: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 39.250 % from Dec 1987 (Median) to 2012, with 6 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 42.800 % in 2005 and a record low of 35.300 % in 1987. GH: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Ghana – Table GH.World Bank.WDI: Poverty. Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.; ; World Bank, Development Research Group. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments.
