For example, South Africa has a Gini coefficient of 63 (highest), the United States is at 41.5, and Ukraine stands with a score of 25 (lowest). [1] Although Brazil and South Africa are often placed in the same category in terms of wealth and income inequality, Brazil has seen more positive results in recent years. In Brazil's case, its Gini ...

This is a list of countries by inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), as published by the UNDP in its 2024 Human Development Report.According to the 2016 Report, "The IHDI can be interpreted as the level of human development when inequality is accounted for", whereas the Human Development Index itself, from which the IHDI is derived, is "an index of potential human development (or ...
The Wealth Gini coefficients from 2008 are based on a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. [5] The Wealth Gini numbers for 2018, 2019, and 2021 come from the Global Wealth Databook by Credit Suisse. [6] [7] [8] * indicates "Wealth inequality in COUNTRY or TERRITORY" or "Income inequality in COUNTRY or TERRITORY ...
African countries had the highest pre-tax Gini coefficients in 2008–2009, with South Africa having the world's highest, estimated to be 0.63 to 0.7. [7] [8] However, this figure drops to 0.52 after social assistance is taken into account, and drops again to 0.47 after taxation. [9]
This is a list of countries or dependencies by income inequality metrics, including Gini coefficients.The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds with perfect equality (where everyone has the same income) and 1 corresponds with perfect inequality (where one person has all the income—and everyone else has no income).
The table below presents the latest Human Development Index (HDI) for countries in Africa as included in the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report, released on 13 March 2024 and based on data collected in 2024. [1] As of 2024, all African UN member states are included in the report.
Gini: Higher Gini coefficients signify greater inequality in wealth distribution. A Gini coefficient of 0 reflects perfect wealth equality, where all wealth values are the same, while a Gini coefficient of 1 (or 100%) reflects maximal wealth inequality, a situation where a single individual has all the wealth while all others have none.
