Between 2010 and 2022, Brazil's data on the degree of inequality in wealth distribution based on the Gini coefficient reached 52.9. That year, Brazil was deemed the most unequal country in Latin America. Prior to 2010, wealth distribution in Brazil had shown signs of improvement, with the Gini coefficient decreasing in the previous three reporting periods.
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.
