Chapter 6. Inequality Measures
Poverty Manual, All, JH Revision of August 8, 2005 Page 95 of 218 Chapter 6. Inequality Measures Summary Inequality is a broader concept than poverty in that it is defined over the entire population, and does not only focus on the poor. The simplest measurement of Inequality sorts the population from poorest to richest and shows the percentage of expenditure (or income) attributable to each fifth (quintile) or tenth (decile) of the population. The poorest quintile typically accounts for 6-10% of all expenditure, the top quintile for 35-50%.
