The Lorenz curve is a graphical representation used to illustrate the distribution of income or wealth within a population, thereby showing the degree of inequality between individuals or groups. It plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The further the curve is from the line of equality, the greater the inequality.
