Economic Inequality Lesson Book

What is economic inequality?

Economic inequality covers a wide variety of topics. It mainly refers to either income distribution or the distribution of wealth. Besides measurements between countries or states, there are important types of economic inequality between groups of people. Important types of economic measurements focus on wealth, income, and consumption. There are various numerical indices for measuring economic inequality, such as the most popular Gini index coefficient, but also National Income indices and Inequality Databases (from the World Bank, United Nations and OECD). Important perspectives of equality include equity, equality of outcome, and equality of opportunity which would include gender and disability (Wilson, 2019: Academic English UK).
