Developing countries like Brazil and India are divided into high-quality formal and informal areas marked by insecurity and poverty. Due to the urbanization of cities, there is a geographic concentration of higher income groups in some places and poverty and lower income groups in others. Due to the unequal geographic distribution of socio-economic resources, health inequalities also persist, resulting in poorer people being in poorer health. Greater inequality is therefore correlated with the health of a poorer population. Gini Coefficient The Gini coefficient, a measure of wealth distribution, shows us the trend of inequality in Brazil between 2001 and 2009. The Gini coefficient has declined over the past six years and is comparatively very low in 2009. It reduced the gap between rich and poor through the redistribution of income and the reduction of social inequalities. The decrease in inequality has led to an improvement in the lives of low-income people and the working population has also increased, allowing most Brazilians to enjoy a better quality of life. To study inequality in India, the best way is to look at the Gini coefficient. In the graph above, the Gini decreased from 0.320 to 0.305 between 1982 and 1995. This shows that inequality was improving, but after the mid-1990s, during the reform period, it increased, showing a significant increase in inequality in India, from 0.305 to 0.325. Income inequality has increased in rural and urban areas. During the period, the Gini index measured that inequality was greater in India than in Brazil. Inequality in Brazil decreased while in India it increased after 1995. Discrimination based on gender and race are the main causes that led to income inequality in these countries. India has a caste system, which is middle of paper......n poverty and inequality in Brazil. These programs have also helped reduce child labor and child malnutrition. As a result, Brazil overcame extreme poverty and helped achieve the first goal of the Millennium Development Goals ten years ago. Brazil has a high concentration of income in the top quartile of 20% in the 1990s and 2000s. It is, however, the only country to show a decline in income in the top quartile in the 2000s. 75 to 80% of income total belongs to the top quartile. And in the 1990s, the poorest 20% had virtually no income share, while India had some income share in its lowest quantile. Inequality in India exists, but the middle quintile holds a significant share of total income. The rural exodus, the return to education, unemployment and the deterioration of the labor market increase inequalities and the gaps between rich and poor..
