Over the years, money-metric measures of inequality such as the Gini coefficient and the Palma Ratio, as frequently used in Ghana, have become useful in providing quantitative measures of welfare distribution that enable a better understanding of the extent and nature of inequality. From these measures, we know that inequality has been rising in Ghana despite high and stable growth and a decline in the poverty rate. Although rising, however, inequality is low in Ghana compared with other countries in the sub-region.
