UG: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 42.800 % in 2016. This records an increase from the previous number of 41.000 % for 2012. UG: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 42.900 % from Dec 1989 (Median) to 2016, with 9 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 45.200 % in 2002 and a record low of 39.000 % in 1996. UG: 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 Uganda – Table UG.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.
