Objective 1: To learn how we measure and identify global disparities
One of the main measures of inequality that we will learn about on the course if the Gini co-efficient. We will take a look at this measure and understand what high and low scores are and where different types of country score on the scale. We will also examine the link between development and inequality and investigate if there is any relationship between the two as countries develop. What do you think the link would be?
