Explain and interpret different methods of measuring income inequality.
Explain Lorenz curve in short witha diagram
Incomes in China and India are a small fraction of incomes
in the United States. But incomes in China and India are
growing more quickly those in the United States.
Draw the world Lorenz curve before the growth in income
in China and India. Label it Before.
>>> Reposition the label by clicking on the edge of the
label box and dragging it.
Draw the world Lorenz curve after the growth in income in
China and India. Label it After.
Inequality between the people in China and India and the
people in the United States is
O A. increasing
OB. staying relatively constant
C. decreasing
OD. increasing in some years and decreasing in other
years

- How Should the US Reduce Economic Inequality? The rich are getting richer. And the super rich are getting super richer. We know some of the names: Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, the Walton family (of Wal-Mart). This billionaire club is growing fast. In 2007, there were 946 billionaires in the world. By 2016, that number doubled to 1,810. Of these, 540 were Americans. A 2015 OxFam report warned that the combined wealth of the world's the widening gap is benefitting the top 1 percent. The top 0.1 percent is doing even better. As just one example, CEOS have seen the real value of their salaries increase more than 1,000 percent since the 1950s. Meanwhile, the average worker has seen the real value of his or her income decrease over the last three decades.
