Summary
| Description |
English: Gini coefficient diagram, based on the version by Bluemoose/BenFrantzDale. You can think of the horizontal axis as percent of people and the vertical axis as the percent of income those people receive. Therefore the Lorenz curves always start and end at the same places, where 0% of people make 0% of the country's income and 100% of people make 100% of the total income.
Inequality is implied when the curve is below the 45-degree line: At the left, the percentage of people is higher than the percent of income they receive (i.e. 10% of the people getting 5% of the total income); at the right, the percent of income received rises more than the percent of people receiving it. The area above the Lorenz curve -- marked "A" -- is shaded differently from the area below the curve -- marked "B". This simplifies the mathematical explanation of the gini coefficient, which is A/(A+B) |

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.
This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
