View all search resultsEconomic inequality in Indonesia has slightly narrowed as the contribution of income earners in the middle-income segment increased amid the government's effort to boost labor-intensive infrastructure projects, the Central Statistics Agency’s (BPS) latest report indicates.
Indonesia's Gini coefficient ratio improved by 0.01 to 0.4 in September 2015. The Gini ratio is an indicator measuring income-distribution inequality. A coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality, while one (100 percent) implies maximal inequality.
The government’s aim of reducing the national inequality ratio, known as the Gini ratio, from 0.41 to 0.39 in 2016 is too ambitious according to one activist, who points out that Brazil took 15 years to reduce its Gini ratio from 0.59 to 0.54.
