This is list of countries by their inequality adjusted income, as defined and measured by the United Nations Development Programme. The income index is one component of the Human Development Index, but is also used separately. The adjustment of income for inequality based on the Gini coefficient was first proposed by Amartya Sen in 1976. The adjustment was first applied by the UN on income data in 1993, before later being expanded to the general HDI. All data is from 2013.
