539003 | Inequality in income | The [Atkinson index](#dod:atkinson) measures inequality on a scale from 0 to 1. Higher values indicate higher inequality. Depending on the country and year, the data relates to income measured after taxes and benefits, or to consumption, [per capita](#dod:per-capita). This version of the Atkinson index uses an inequality aversion parameter ε equal to 1. The parameter defines how sensitive the index is to changes in the lower end of the distribution. In this form, the inequality measure is A = 1 – g/μ, where g is the geometric mean and μ is the arithmetic mean of the distribution. | 2022-11-29 22:41:51 | 2024-04-16 18:33:12 | 2010-2021 | 5825 | { "numDecimalPlaces": 2 } |
