In Germany, the Gini index increased from **** points in 2005 to **** points in 2022. The Gini Index is a measurement of inequality within economies, a lower score indicates more equality while a higher score implies more inequality. Germany's index score has increased since 2019 to 2021, however, it has decreased in the most recent period recorded, reaching its lowest rate since 2012.

Germany - Gini coefficient of equivalised disposable income was 29.50% in December of 2024, according to the EUROSTAT. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for Germany - Gini coefficient of equivalised disposable income - last updated from the EUROSTAT on July of 2025.

Comparing the 130 selected regions regarding the gini index , South Africa is leading the ranking (0.63 points) and is followed by Namibia with 0.58 points. At the other end of the spectrum is Slovakia with 0.23 points, indicating a difference of 0.4 points to South Africa. The Gini coefficient here measures the degree of income inequality on a scale from 0 (=total equality of incomes) to one (=total inequality).The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in more than 150 countries and regions worldwide. All input data are sourced from international institutions, national statistical offices, and trade associations. All data has been are processed to generate comparable datasets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).

Germany DE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data was reported at 32.400 % in 2020. This records an increase from the previous number of 31.800 % for 2019. Germany DE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 30.350 % from Dec 1991 (Median) to 2020, with 30 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 32.400 % in 2020 and a record low of 28.000 % in 1996. Germany DE: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Germany – Table DE.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. Data for high-income economies are mostly from the Luxembourg Income Study database. For more information and methodology, please see http://pip.worldbank.org.;;The World Bank’s internationally comparable poverty monitoring database now draws on income or detailed consumption data from more than 2000 household surveys across 169 countries. See the Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP) for details (www.pip.worldbank.org).
In 2023, Bulgaria had the highest Gini Index score in the European Union at 37.2, implying that the country had the highest level of inequality among European countries. The Gini Index is a measure of inequality within economies, a lower score indicates more equality, and a higher score less equality. Slovakia had the lowest score among EU countries for 2023 with a score of 21.6, suggesting that it is the most egalitarian society in Europe.

Gini Coefficient data was reported at 0.324 NA in 2020. This records an increase from the previous number of 0.318 NA for 2019. Gini Coefficient data is updated yearly, averaging 0.303 NA from Dec 1991 (Median) to 2020, with 30 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 0.324 NA in 2020 and a record low of 0.280 NA in 1996. Gini Coefficient data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Our World in Data.

Out of the G20 countries, South Africa, Brazil, and Turkey have the highest levels of income inequality, while France, Canada, and Germany have the lowest levels of inequality. Other G20 countries in the middle have Gini coefficients between 32.5 and 44.0. The Gini coefficient measures the level of income inequality worldwide, where a higher score indicates a higher level of income inequality.
This statistic shows the inequality of income distribution in China from 2005 to 2023 based on the Gini Index. In 2023, China reached a score of ************ points. The Gini Index is a statistical measure that is used to represent unequal distributions, e.g. income distribution. It can take any value between 1 and 100 points (or 0 and 1). The closer the value is to 100 the greater is the inequality. 40 or 0.4 is the warning level set by the United Nations. The Gini Index for South Korea had ranged at about **** in 2022. Income distribution in China The Gini coefficient is used to measure the income inequality of a country. The United States, the World Bank, the US Central Intelligence Agency, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development all provide their own measurement of the Gini coefficient, varying in data collection and survey methods. According to the United Nations Development Programme, countries with the largest income inequality based on the Gini index are mainly located in Africa and Latin America, with South Africa displaying the world's highest value in 2022. The world's most equal countries, on the contrary, are situated mostly in Europe. The United States' Gini for household income has increased by around ten percent since 1990, to **** in 2023. Development of inequality in China Growing inequality counts as one of the biggest social, economic, and political challenges to many countries, especially emerging markets. Over the last 20 years, China has become one of the world's largest economies. As parts of the society have become more and more affluent, the country's Gini coefficient has also grown sharply over the last decades. As shown by the graph at hand, China's Gini coefficient ranged at a level higher than the warning line for increasing risk of social unrest over the last decade. However, the situation has slightly improved since 2008, when the Gini coefficient had reached the highest value of recent times.
