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

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