Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms provided in the options to identify which one best describes the difference in income between the richest and poorest citizens.
Labor mobility refers to the ability of workers to move between jobs or geographic locations, so it is not related to income differences.
Absolute poverty measures the minimum level of income needed to meet basic needs, but it does not describe the income gap between rich and poor.
Economic growth refers to the increase in a country's output or income over time, not the distribution of income among citizens.
Income inequality specifically describes the extent to which income is distributed unevenly among a population, making it the correct term for the difference in income between the richest and poorest citizens.
