This is the most commonly used measure of inequality. The coefficient varies between 0, which reflects complete equality, and 1, which indicates complete inequality(one person has all the income or consumption, all others have none). Graphically, the Gini coefficient can be easily represented by the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of equality.  7, record 1, English, - Gini%20coefficient

Le coefficient de Gini est un nombre variant de 0 à 1, où 0 signifie l'égalité parfaite et 1, qui ne peut être atteint, signifierait une inégalité parfaite (une seule personne dispose de tous les revenus et une infinité d'autres n'ont aucun revenu).  10, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20Gini

With percentages from 0 to 100 on each axis, the curve shows the cumulative percentage relationships between two variables, one on each axis. The curve is used to measure the degree of departure from a uniform distribution in which 1% of one variable would be matched by 1% in the other variable. A completely uniform distribution would appear as a straight line of 45 °. The more hollow the curve, the more unequal the distribution. This curve is commonly used to show the effect of a tax on the distribution of income.  3, record 2, English, - Lorenz%20curve
