Cirebon Regency Gini Ratio

High economic growth can also cause widening inequality between groups of society (the rich and the poor) and inequality between regions (the developed and the disadvantaged). Increasing inequality between groups and between regions can give rise to problems including social jealousy, vulnerability to regional disintegration and increasingly wide and sharp economic disparities.

Economic inequality in the dimension of income distribution is a reality that exists in society. This phenomenon has become a public concern, so that evaluation efforts are urgently carried out. From the evaluation results, it is hoped that economic growth will ultimately also have the consequence of reducing the level of inequality in development and its results, or in other words, economic growth can be in line with improvements in the level of welfare of the community. If this inequality is allowed to widen, it will further distort development results.

Therefore, efforts to determine the magnitude of expenditure inequality between population groups and spatially need to be carried out. The Gini index (gini ratio) is a tool that measures the level of inequality in the distribution of relative income between residents of a region. The level of equal distribution of income is often measured by the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient is zero if income is actually spread evenly, and is close to 1 if income distribution is actually spread unevenly. Based on the Gini ratio value, there are three groups of inequality, namely: high inequality if the Gini ratio coefficient value is 0.5 or more, medium if the value is between 0.30-0.49 and low if it is less than 0.30. From this figure, Cirebon Regency is an area with moderate inequality.
