Abstract: Gini and entropy are the most use measures to gauge income inequalities. We show that each measure yields different subgroup decomposition techniques into within-group inequalities and between-group inequalities. Then, we show that the Gini index has been decomposed into many ways to bring out a third measure of income inequalities.scales.
