摘要：Income inequality is one of the major contributing factors to poverty and food insecurity in
low-income countries. The objective of this study is to measure income inequality among
countries and discuss the factors that could affect income inequality as they relate to food
security. An improved understanding of these relationships will aid in projections of consumption
as well as in the formulation of policies to reduce undernutrition. Income inequalty
was measured by calculating the gini coefficient for a cross-section of 82 countries.
