In Germany, the Gini index increased from 26.1 points in 2005 to 28.2 points in 2022. The Gini Index is a measurement of inequality within economies, a lower score indicates more equality while a higher score implies more inequality. Germany's index score has increased since 2019 to 2021, however, it has decreased in the most recent period recorded, reaching its lowest rate since 2012.
Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.
