Decile dispersion ratios measure income inequality by comparing the average income of the richest 10% of a population to the poorest 10%. The dataset is produced by the LAC Equity Lab, part of the World Bank. It provides a focused metric for analyzing the extremes of income distribution across different economies.
The metric's design focuses solely on the income ratio of the extreme deciles, which is a key analytical limitation. Users must confirm the specific country coverage, time periods, and underlying data sources before use.
