Lorenz Curve- a graph in which the cumulative percentage of a variable is plotted against the cumulative percentage of the corresponding population. The extent to which the curve falls below the equality line indicates the inequality of the distribution.
A Lorenz curve indicates the inequality of a distribution. This graph shows the proportion of internet users to the total population. The straight diagonal line is the line of equality. The curves below it correspond to different years. As you can see, the proportion of internet users is becoming increasingly more equalized from 1997 to 2005.
