- All need macro econ, fiscal, financial, political and legal actions to succeed
3
Q

A
Used between countries: GDP
- HDI
- Gini Coeffiecient,
- DALY,
- Gini Index
- Slope of inequality
4
Q
What are the weakness in nutritional inequality research?
A
- Lack of theory
- ” longitudinal Data
- Lack of intersectionality
- Triangulation b/w quantative and qualitative research would help
- Need cross discipline, multi level studies
5

- SDG 3- Good health and well being
- SDG 5 - Gender equality
- SDG 12- responsible production and consumption
- SDG 10- reduce inequalities within and among countries

A
- Monetary measure of market value of all the final goods, services provided in a specific time period
- It is a national distribution measure of inequality used in global inequality research
8

A
- Human Development Index
- It is a national distribution measure of inequality used in global inequality research
- It is the composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators
- It is used to rank countries into 4 tiers of human development
9
Q
What is Gini Coefficient?
A
- It is the most commonly used measure of inequality used in global inequality research
- It is a measure of dispersion
- Score of 0 is perfect equality
- Score of 1 is perfect inequality
10
Q
What are the relative and absolute measures of inequality?
A
- DALY
- Gini Index
- Slope Index of Inequality
11
Q
What is DALY?
A
- It is a measure of inequality
- Composite measure for population health
- Calculated by summing years of life lost to premature death (assuming life expectancy of 86) and years of healthy life lost due to disability
12
Q
What is Gini Index?
A
- It is a measure of inequality
- Measure of average relative difference in disease burden b/w 2 countries
- Range 0 - 1, 0- Perfect equality, 1- perfect inequality
13
Q
What is slope index of inequality?
A
- It is a measure of absolute inequality
- It is derived from ranking DALYs from highest to lowest
- In other words, it is the average absolute difference in DALY rates b/w countries
