Poverty profiles can play an important role in understanding poverty and formulating poverty reduction policies. Provide some specific examples to illustrate how poverty can be constructed and how they can be utilized to design policies
Why would income inequality be as damaging as poverty? Explain each concept.
What is the Lorenz curve and what does it illustrate? Are incomes distributed equally? What would happen if incomes were equal? Why do you think income distribution is so unequal? Identify and explain three reasons.
Suppose that the economy of Loserville has the following distribution of income: first quintile 15% of aggregate income second quintile 20% of aggregate income third quintile 20% of aggregate income fourth quintile 20% of aggregate income fifth quintile 25% of aggregate income a.

2. Constructing a Lorenz curve from income shares data The following table shows the approximate income distribution for Peru, Bulgaria, and Lithuania in 2016. In particular, it shows the income shares of each fifth of the income distribution. Percentage Share, 2016 Percentage of Families Peru Bulgaria Lithuania Lowest fifth 4 9 7 Second-lowest fifth 8 14 12 Middle fifth 12 17 16 Second-highest fifth Highest fifth 20 22 22 56 38 43 has the most total income. On the following graph, plot the Lorenz curves for the three countries. Plot Peru's Lorenz curve using the green points (triangle symbol), Bulgaria's Lorenz curve using the blue points (circle symbol), and Lithuania's Lorenz curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Be sure to plot the first point of each Lorenz curve at (0,0). Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.
