From economical to social entropy measure.Towards an inequality multidimensional evaluation.
poor city
An inequality measure has been inspired by Plato: The Plato inequality refers to Plato's "two cities", a city devided into at least two quantiles:
20% of the citizens control a share of 80% of all resources
and rich city
Pareto « 80-20 » law, according to which 20% of all people receive 80% of all income, and 20% of the most affluent 20% receive 80% of that 80%, and so on, holds precisely when the Pareto index is α = log45.
Fractal distribution: segments of the curves are self-similar
…Pareto distribution
Probability density function for various α with xm = 1.
Cumulative distribution functions for various α with xm = 1
Pareto-Zipf LawPareto-Zipf Law
[Mandelbrot (1965)]
As Pareto distributions are continuous probability distributions, Zipf law is the discrete counterpart of the Pareto distribution.

Informational impedance adaptation level between economical and social dimensions
After Plato's two-quantile-societies and Pareto-Zipf law, Time series indicators has been constructed, such as Robin Hood Index (Hoover inequality) Gini inequality and Entropy measures
Inequality Issuization
Measure of redundancy, lack of diversity, isolation, segregation, inequality, non-randomness, and compressibility, describes the maximum possible entropy of the data minus the observed entropy, through generalized entropy index computation
It measures an entropic "distance" between population and an hypothetic "ideal" egalitarian state. Derived from Shannon’s entropy mesurement, entropy is a measure of economical, social and environmental « order »

The parameter α in the GE class represents the weight given to distances between incomes at different parts of the income distribution
GE(1) is Theil’s T index :

Example classification using numerical techniques. The top row shows how the system is clustered at several levels, parameterized by taxonomic level h. The classification is summarized in a taxonomic tree, or dendrogram (bottom).
Social entropy
social entropy (computed using Shannon’s information entropy formulation(Shannon, 1949)) as an appropriate measure of diversity

branching structure of the dendrograms for these two societies is the same. However, the more compact distribution of elementsin the system on the upper right is reflected in the branches being compressed towards the bottom of the corresponding dendrogram (lower right).
Hierarchic Social Entropy Metric
Because hierarchic entropy is scale invariant it can distinguishbetween the two societies regardless of the value of x.

The case α = ∞ corresponds to perfectly equal distribution (G = 0) and the α = 1 line corresponds to complete inequality (G = 1)
Gini coefficient a measure of the deviation of the Lorenz curve from the equidistribution plot of the fraction of total income held by a given fraction of the population (Heaps et al., 1998, Aaberge 2005).
