First we’d better quickly explain what the categories tonight mean. Courtesy of Wikipedia.
The Gini coefficient (also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio) (/dʒini/ jee-nee) is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation’s residents, and is the most commonly used measure of inequality. It was developed by the Italian statistician and sociologist Corrado Gini and published in his 1912 paper “Variability and Mutability”
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indices used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. It was created by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian economist Amartya Sen in 1990,[1] and was published by the United Nations Development Programme.[2]
Now the important part – the scores.
So a few surprises in the first round with the might of the US out already. Joining them are Turkey, Russia, Argentina, Mexico, China, Brazil, South Africa.
Only eight remain, and we’ll sort those out tomorrow night. Stay tuned for more G20 Battle Royale action.
