Which statements are TRUE? Perfect inequality in distribution of income can be exhibited in reality. Holding all other incomes constant, if we transfer some income from a richer person to a poorer person, the resulting new income distribution is more unequal. There is absolute poverty below the international poverty line. Modern sector enlargement assures a better Lorenz Curve for a nation. The average poverty gap measures the sum of the differences the income of each person from the absolute poverty line. The multidimensional poverty index gives equal weight to all eight indicators. The normalized income shortfall is a measure of income inequality. When government’s intervention to poverty and income inequality are thoroughly planned, implemented and monitored, a nation is secured of achieving economic development. When the S-shaped function cuts the 45-degree line of equality from above, the equilibrium achieved is stable. Underdevelopment can be fully explained by coordination…
