A Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of wealth distribution among a population. Conduct research to learn more about the Lorenz curve and answer the following questions. Draw a Lorenz curve and label the following components: Lorenz curve, income inequality line, total population and total income. Explain the shape of the curve in terms of income distribution, i.e. what happens to income inequality as you move along the Lorenz curve? Explain the concept of economic mobility as it relates to the Lorenz curve.
