Definition

Inequality of income or consumption per person among households on a 0 to 100 scale, where 0 is perfect equality. World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform estimates from national household surveys, published only for survey years.

Many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, measure consumption, which is more equal than income, and incomes are per person rather than equivalised. Not comparable with the Eurostat gini_index; compare countries within this series only.
