SII CIX
Income group (World Bank) Slope ± SE P2 Slope ± SE P2
Global 0.06 ± 0.17 0.690 0.04 ± 0.16 0.822
Low-income −0.21 ± 0.09 <0.001 −0.22 ± 0.05 <0.001
Middle-income 0.26 ± 0.29 0.371 −0.07 ± 0.28 0.807
P3 0.135 0.322

1Slopes are based on linear regressions of SII and CIX over year of the survey and expressed in percentage points. CIX, Concentration Index of Inequality; SII, Slope Index of Inequality.

2 P values for slope being different from zero.

3 P values for interactions between country income groupings (low, middle) and year of the survey (expressed as slopes).
