Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most likely measurement used by Steven is Gini index, as it measures economic inequality. GDP and GDP per capita measure the total economic output and economic output per person, respectively, but do not specifically focus on inequality. UNHDI and Human Development Index measure overall human development, including aspects such as education and health, but also do not specifically focus on economic inequality.
