      Which of the following is the primary measure of income

      inequality?  
      A HDI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Gini Coefficient Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C GDP per capita Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Lorenz Function Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Poverty Headcount Ratio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Gini Coefficient , derived from the Lorenz curve, quantifies inequality on a scale from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality). A higher value signals wider income gaps. India’s Gini values have hovered around 0.35–0.37, showing moderate inequality. Policymakers track it to assess the inclusiveness of growth.
