Box 5.3, Figure 1 | International inequality in access and use of goods and services. Upper panel: International Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients accounting for the share of population living in households without access (origin of the curves on the y-axis), multiple ownership not considered. Lower panel: Gini, number of people without access, access rates and coverage in terms of share of global population and number of countries included. *Reduced samples lead to underestimation of inequality. A sample, for example, of around 80% of world population (taking the same 43 countries as for mobiles and cars) led to a lower Gini of around 0.48 (–0.04) for electricity. The reduced sample was kept for mobiles in 2018 to allow for comparability with 2000. Source: Zimm (2019).
