7) 47 Income distribution in less developed countries where ρ(y, ry) is the correlation between the y values and their ranks, and ρ(y, rx) is the correlation between the y values and the ranks of the corresponding x values. It follows that, if y is a monotonically increasing function of x, the concentration index of y will be equal to its Gini index, and it will be equal to its Gini index but opposite in sign if y is a monotonically decreasing function of x. In other cases, the absolute value of Cy will be less than Gy (for proofs, see Kakwani 1980:174).
Therefore for comparison with other countries, the income data have been adjusted to fit with the consumption data (for details, see Rao 1984:115). In principle, the difference between the two concepts is savings. As the upper-income groups usually save a larger proportion of their incomes, the distribution of consumption will generally be more equal than the distribution of income. However, in practice, even in the case of consumption expenditures, the collection of data in LDCs is a laborious process.
