Wealth Gini coefficient of India 2000-2022

At the end of 2022, the Gini coefficient of wealth in India stood at 82.5. This was a slight increase from previous years. The trend since 2000 shows rising inequalities among the Indian population. What is Gini coefficient of wealth?The Gini coefficient is a measure of wealth inequality. The coefficient of the Gini index ranges from 0 to 1 with 0 representing perfect equality and 1 representing perfect inequality. Wealth and income distribution and inequality can however vary greatly. In 2023, South Africa topped the list of the most unequal countries in the world in terms of income inequality.  Why do economic inequalities persist in India?By the end of 2022, the richest citizens in the country owned more than 40 percent of the country’s wealth. Asia’s two richest men Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani are Indians. The number of high-net-worth individuals has continuously increased over the last decades. While millions of people escaped poverty in the country in the last few years, the wealth distribution between rich and poor remains skewed. Crony capitalism and the accumulation of wealth through inheritance are some of the factors behind this widening gap.

截至2022年年底，印度的财富基尼系数达到82.5，相较于往年略有上升。自2000年以来，印度人口中的不平等现象呈现加剧趋势。何为财富基尼系数？财富基尼系数是衡量财富不平等的指标。基尼指数的系数范围介于0至1之间，其中0代表绝对平等，1代表绝对不平等。然而，财富与收入的分配及不平等程度可能存在显著差异。至2023年，南非在全球收入不平等的国家中位居榜首。印度经济不平等现象持续存在的原因何在？截至2022年年底，该国的富裕公民拥有超过国家40%的财富。亚洲两位最富有的人士穆克什·安巴尼和古塔姆·阿达尼均为印度人。在过去几十年中，高净值人士的数量持续增长。尽管在过去的几年中，该国数百万人口摆脱了贫困，但贫富之间的财富分配仍然失衡。裙带资本主义和通过继承积累财富是一些导致这一差距不断扩大的因素。
