Zenga

Zenga is a statistical measure used to analyze income or wealth distribution within a population. It compares the income of individuals or groups relative to the overall distribution, highlighting inequality levels. Unlike measures that summarize inequality with a single number, Zenga provides a detailed view of how income is spread across different segments, emphasizing disparities between the rich and the poor. It helps policymakers and researchers understand the dynamics of income inequality more precisely, identifying whether disparities are concentrated among the very wealthy or the lower-income groups.
