What is the Gini coefficient of Europe?

around 54%
EU market incomes are relatively unequally distributed (Gini coefficient of around 54% in 2019) in comparison to the EU disposable incomes (Gini coefficient below 35% in 2019). Compared to the US, the overall impact of taxes and transfers, including public pensions, appear more strongly redistributive.

Gini coefficient on after-taxes and transfers basis for total population ranged between 0.25 and 0.48, with Denmark the lowest and Mexico the highest. For United States, the country with the largest population in OECD countries, the pre-tax Gini index was 0.49, and after-tax Gini index was 0.38,…

How do Gini indices differ between OECD countries?

The difference in Gini indices between OECD countries, on after-taxes and transfers basis, is significantly narrower. For OECD countries, over 2008–2009 period, Gini coefficient on pre-taxes and transfers basis for total population ranged between 0.34 and 0.53, with South Korea the lowest and Italy the highest.

What is the Gini index of perfect equality?

The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality. Source: World Bank, Development Research Group.
