Table 2.
Contributions of mortality gains linked to HIV, TB and malaria to declining inequality and inequity in life expectancy across countries
| Inequality | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gini index in 2002 | 0.060 | Absolute change | −0.019 | |
| Gini index in 2019 | 0.040 | Relative change (%) | −32.6 | |
| Contributions from HIV, malaria and TB | ||||
| All three | HIV | TB | Malaria | |
| All countries | ||||
| Contribution to change | −0.009 | −0.005 | −0.002 | −0.002 |
| Percent of total gain | 48.6 | 27.5 | 12.4 | 9.0 |
| Inequity | ||||
| Concentration index in 2002 | 0.050 | Absolute change | −0.018 | |
| Concentration index in 2019 | 0.031 | Relative change (%) | −37.1 | |
| Contributions from HIV, malaria and TB | ||||
| All three | HIV | TB | Malaria | |
| All countries | ||||
| Contribution to change | −0.007 | −0.004 | −0.002 | −0.001 |
| Percent of total gain | 38.8 | 19.2 | 12.5 | 7.4 |
Note: Because the Gini index and the concentration index are non-linear functions, the results on HIV, TB and malaria do not precisely add up to the combined effect.
