Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Steven most likely used the Gini index, which measures income inequality within a population. A score of 68 indicates higher levels of inequality in his country, whereas a score of 12 indicates lower levels of inequality in the wealthy, developed democracy. GDP, GDP per capita, and Human Development Index do not directly measure income inequality.
