Between 2010 and 2022, the Dominican Republic's data on the degree of inequality in income distribution based on the Gini coefficient totaled 38.5. This coefficient represents an improvement compared to the last previous periods. The Dominican Republic was one of the most equal countries in Latin America.
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.
