Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. A Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.

Stunting is assessed via height-for-age. Height-for-age is a measure of growth faltering where children whose height-for-age z score is below minus two standard deviations (−2 SD) from the median of the reference population are considered short for their age (stunted). Children whose z score is below minus three standard deviations (−3 SD) from the median are considered severely stunted.
