TRUE OR FALSE WITH REASONS.
Answer:
Reason
This statement is FALSE .
This is so because, when one person has all the income and everyone else has none , the Gini ratio is one.
In 1912 ,the Gini Ratio or Gini Index was developed and put forward by an Italian Statistician named Corrado Gini. The Gini Ratio is a measure of inequality of distribution of income (wealth distribution) across a population. It values lies between 0 and 1 .A higher Gini ratio means that there is greater inequality of distribution of income across the population , indicating higher percentage of total income of the population in the hands of few income earning individuals. Lower Gini ratio means there is less income inequality across the population . When the Gini ratio is 0 , it represents perfect income equality ,ie, each and everyone of the population have the same income. When the Gini Ratio is one , it represents perfect income inequality across the population , ie , one person has all the income , while everyone else in the population has zero income (no income).
Hence , the statement given in this question is FALSE .
