MW: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 45.500 % in 2010. This records an increase from the previous number of 39.900 % for 2004. MW: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 45.500 % from Dec 1997 (Median) to 2010, with 3 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 65.800 % in 1997 and a record low of 39.900 % in 2004. MW: 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 Malawi – Table MW.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.

While income distribution data are published for all countries with data available, poverty data are published for low- and middle-income countries and countries eligible to receive loans from the World Bank (such as Chile) and recently graduated countries (such as Estonia) only.
