第14讲 收入再分配（Fourteenth talk about income redistribution） Fourteenth talk about income redistribution 14.1 measure the inequality of income distribution The degree of inequality of income distribution in a society can not simply use the poorest people of wealth and the richest man in the wealth gap to measure, but to use a certain percentage of the family share the wealth of society to measure. If each of the 1% families to share the social wealth 1%, then, the social income distribution is completely equal; if 10% of the rich share of social wealth 90%, then, the social income distribution is extremely unequal. To measure the inequality of income distribution, we divide families into groups according to income levels. Then look at the proportion of each familys social wealth, and from low to high cumulative, calculate a certain proportion of households accounted for the proportion of social wealth. As shown in table 9-1, in an imaginary society, we rank families from low income to high score, with each group accounting for 20% of the total household, and the proportion of households in each group in social wealth as shown in table 14-1, as shown in table 5. Table 14-1 percentage of household wealth in each group Family grouping Low-income Low income Medium income High income High-income Percentage of wealth% Five Ten Twenty Twenty-five Forty According to table 14-1, we can calculate the proportion of family to social wealth from a low to a high proportion. For example, from low to high, 40% of households have 15% of social wealth; 60% of households have 35% of social wealth. As shown in Figure 14-1, the relationship between the family ratio and the proportion of social wealth is represented by the Lorenz curve (Lorenz, curve). The Lorenz curve deviates from the square diagonal line in the graph to measure the unequal degree of income distribution in the society. The diagonal in the figure means that every 1% of the households have 1% of the wealth of the society, and
