Between 2010 and 2022, Colombia's data on the degree of inequality in wealth distribution based on the Gini coefficient reached 51.5. That year, the country was deemed as one of the most unequal countries in Latin America.
The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality.
