True or false Recall we visited the Kabura family in Burundi by taking a stroll down Gapminder’s Dollar Street. The dollar values assigned to each household’s income by Gapminder’s Dollar Street account for the kids’ consumption in the household by using an adult equivalence scale. If we increase the incomes of everyone in an economy by an exact proportion, the Gini coefficient of inequality will increase by that same proportion.
