Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is list of countries by their inequality adjusted income, as defined and measured by the United Nations Development Programme.[1] The income index is one component of the Human Development Index, but is also used separately.[2] The adjustment of income for inequality based on the Gini coefficient was first proposed by Amartya Sen in 1976.[3] The adjustment was first applied by the UN on income data in 1993, before later being expanded to the general HDI.[4] All data is from 2013.[1]
