About: Countries by Gini Inequality Index 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the Gini coefficient measuring income inequality in 2024, where 0 represents perfect equality and 100 represents maximum inequality, according to World Bank and national statistical office data. South Africa has one of the world's highest Gini coefficients — reflecting extreme income stratification rooted in the economic legacies of apartheid, where structural inequality between racial groups created a concentration of wealth that three decades of democratic governance has not substantially reversed, despite significant growth in the Black middle class.
