Higher values indicate higher inequality. Inequality is measured here in terms of the number of years a newborn would live if age-specific mortality rates in the current year were to stay the same throughout its life.

    "This metric is needed to estimate the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index.",
    "This version of the Atkinson index uses an inequality aversion parameter \u03b5 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/\u03bc, where g is the geometric mean and \u03bc is the arithmetic mean of the distribution."
