  • omg thank you! I finally get now

  • Thank you sooo much!

  • Hmm... Thanks for the video.

  • Paused at 4:14, suddently felt like eating a banana.

    Seems very informative so far though, thanks. You're helping me work out my final exam in 2 years of societies studies.

  • Does the mechanism work the other way around, in terms of economic growth. The question being: Can a very non equal country expect larger growth?

  • can anyone help on how to do a lorenz curve for age inequality?? in step by step instructions? i can only find about income inequality and i don't know what data to select instead for age

  • If you call the area below the lorenz curve 'b', then the formula for the gini coeficient is: a / (a+b). Note this is actualy for the IB syllabus but I thought its an easier way to remember the formula.

    Anyways thank you for the video it did explain everything very well =).

  • Thank you very much!

  • Thanks

  • So easy to follow and I now get it! Thanx so much!
