This paper seeks to add to the body of work surrounding the relationship between income inequality and poverty. In this research, we hope to demonstrate how the percentage of people living below the poverty line is related to the GINI coefficient, change in GDP per capita, literacy rate, Freedom House score, infant mortality rate, and income level for a range of different countries.
