Table 13.2 shows the values of national inequality, measured in both the second
measure of the Theil index [GE(0)] and the Gini coefficient. The PRC’s Gini
coefficient increased from 32.4 in 1990 to 43.4 in 2008;1 India’s Gini coefficient
worsened from 32.5 in 1993 to 37.0 in 2010, and Indonesia’s Gini rose from
29.2 in 1990 to 38.9 in 2011. On the other hand, inequality changed little in the
Philippines, with the Gini falling from 43.8 to 43.0, but the Theil index [(GE(0)]
increasing from 0.326 to 0.330 during 1991–2009.
