Description*	"Income inequality: P50/P10 disposable income decile ratio" calculates income disparity using the disposable income decile P50/P10 (OECD). The inter-quintile ratio of population income serves as an indication of income inequality. It is the ratio of the 50th decile to the lower bound value of the first decile (the bottom 10% of the income distribution).
Coding rules	By dividing the P50 disposable income decile by P10 disposable income decile, the variable is computed. Income is defined as a household's disposable income in a given year. It includes earnings, self-employment, capital income, and public cash transfers. Households pay income taxes and social security contributions, which are deducted. Each household member's income is allocated based on their needs, taking into account variances in household size. Teorell et al. (2024:352) define the variable as "Income inequality: P50/P10 disposable income decile ratio".
