Diagram 1 shows GDP ratio (gross domestic products or GDP) of
the richest 20% compared to the bottom 20% which is the poorest and
other groups. The ratios of these two groups during 1988-2008 reveal
that the ratio of the richest 20% is more than 50 per cent of total GDP
while the poorest 20% have only about 4 per cent, which is less than the
ratio of 6.05 per cent recorded during 1975-1976.

When comparing household income by region against average
household income of the entire country, inequality can be observed as well
(see Table 3). The Northeast and North, including the South in some years,
tend to have the lowest income. When compared to rural areas, distinct
inequality can be observed as well.
