Gini coefficient: wealth inequality Nicaragua 2022

Between 2010 and 2022, Nicaragua's data on the degree of inequality in income distribution based on the Gini coefficient reached 46.2, same value achieved in the previous reported period. The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality.
