Correct Answer: India


Solution : The answer is (a) India.

According to the World Bank, India has a Gini coefficient of 0.476 , which is the highest of any country in the world. This means that income is distributed very
unequally in India, with the richest 10 % of the population taking home more than 40 % of the country's income. Pakistan's Gini coefficient is 0.417 , China's is 0.462 , and the global average is 0.39 . So, India has the highest income inequality as measured by the Gini coefficient.
