Hi everyone,
I am using Italian Time Use surveys to analyze parental time investments. I used ineqdec0 to calculate the Gini Index for time children are reported to spend with their parents (mother/father). Beyond giving an insight about the level of inequality within and across groups, how can I interpret, for instance, a gini Index of 0.5 or 0.3 (e.g., when related to income distribution, the interpretation is made in terms of shares of the population). On this line, is a Gini of 0.6 indicating that the fraction of zeros in parental time investments is equal to the 60%?
Thank you in advance,
Andrea
