Gini coefficient income distribution inequality in Uruguay 2000-2023
Uruguay's Gini coefficient between 2010 and 2023 amounted to 40.6, a slight setback from the value recorded in the previous period. Based on the degree of inequality in income distribution measured by the Gini coefficient, Uruguay was the third most equal country in Latin America.
The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality.
