The Gini Index serves as an invaluable tool in economics, particularly in gauging the degree of income distribution inequality. It has a range from 0, representing total equality, to 1, denoting absolute inequality. The Gini Index is determined through a comparison of the cumulative proportions of the population versus the cumulative proportions of the income they accrue, effectively quantifying income dispersion.
