Overview
Zimbabwe's gini index stood at 50.3 in 2019, a rise of +6.0 from 2017. Zimbabwe ranked 75th globally.
Zimbabwe's Gini Index has experienced a significant increase over the past few years, reaching its all-time peak of 50.30 in 2019. This value ranks the country 75th globally, mirroring a widening income inequality among its population. In comparison, neighboring Mozambique holds a slightly higher Gini Index of 50.70, while Panama ranks lower at 49.80. When examining the trend, Zimbabwe's Gini Index has risen from its all-time trough of 43.20 in 2011, indicating a growing disparity in wealth distribution. This shift could be attributed to factors such as economic instability, limited job opportunities, and inadequate social welfare programs. To alter this trajectory, Zimbabwe would need to implement policies aimed at promoting economic growth and job creation, as well as investing in education and social services to reduce income inequality. If not addressed, this widening gap could lead to increased social unrest and economic instability in the country.
