Add to ORKGThe inequality is computed through the so-called Gini index. The population is assumed to have the variable of interest distributed according to the Gamma probability distribution. It is proved that the Gini index is reduced dramatically when the population is grouped. The number of individuals in the groups is the relevant parameter, but this number does not need to be very large in order to obtain a very substantial reduction of inequality. A new index to measure inequality is proposed, which is simply the entropy of the Gamma distribution
