Lesotho LS: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate
LS: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 54.200 % in 2010. This records an increase from the previous number of 51.600 % for 2002. LS: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 55.100 % from Dec 1986 (Median) to 2010, with 4 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 63.200 % in 1994 and a record low of 51.600 % in 2002. LS: 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 Lesotho – Table LS.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.
