About This Dataset

Countries by Gini Inequality Index 2024

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.

Analysis

South Africa (63), Namibia (59.1) and Zambia (57.1) take the top three in Gini Coefficient (0-100) in 2024. Values run from 63 at the top to 23.2 at the bottom in Gini Coefficient (0-100), a spread of 39.8. First and second are separated by 3.90, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Below the top two the field is tightly packed: the remaining 6 run from 57.1 down to 23.2 Gini Coefficient (0-100).
