China's income gap has continued to widen since official figures put the country's Gini Coefficient, a measure of inequality of income distribution, at 0.44 in 2004, according to Yang Yiyong, a researcher with the National Development and Reform Commission's Social Development Research Institute, in a presentation to a forum this past weekend. The Gini coefficient will be a number between zero and one, a value of 0 is equivalent to total equality and a reading of 1 indicates maximal inequality.
