In Asian countries where inequality data are available on both measures, the income coefficient is typically a fifth higher than that based on expenditure.

在那些不平等数据可以从两种方式获得的亚洲国家里，通过收入计算出的系数一般都要比基于支出计算出的高出五分之一。

But within most countries inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, has increased in recent decades (see chart 2).

但是根据基尼系数来衡量，大多数国家的贫富差距在最近几十年内都有所增加(如图2)。

Thus, the measure of inequality (Gini coefficient) fell from 0.518 in 2009 to 0.501 in 2011 in Brazil.
