The Gini Index is a measure of how equal a country's distribution of income is. It is a score between 0 and 100, where 0 represents perfect equality and 100 represents perfect inequality. Perfect equality means a country's total income is shared equally among its residents, whereas perfect inequality means a country's total income is owned by a single individual.
