Proof of the Proposition 2

Like the proof of the first proposition, this second proposition is proved by some subpropositions.

Proposition 10.6. The segregation measures 121 and I22 satisfy CON, NOR, MON and MMV.

Proof: (a) This measure is based on the approach of unequal representation of the groups across different categories of the wellbeing indicator. If a group-specific measure of this malrepresentation is x,, for all i e y> and for xj -> x?, where x9 € GM and G С R. ., then/(x,) —>/(x9), where/(x,) e R+ =>

fib) - /(4)1 = o(b) 3 x] = ^ J^jLi x!j' for all i € p, where x9 € G'w, and h : GM -> R+.

If xfj -> 1 for all i e p, then x, —■> 0, then/21 (xj?) -> 0.

Again, if xjj. -» 0 for all i e p and j e Ф, then х,- -> 1 for all i e then /”(*}) 1-

  • (c) These measures of discrimination satisfy MON. For the r-th identity group, rep, we define a vector у from x, where y] > x{)r and y] > x] for all i Ф r, then y > x => l21(y) > ^(x), and for given A, у > x =>■ I22(y) > /^(x).
  • (d) The minimum values of these measures are equal to 0 when there is no unequal representation of the identity groups across the categories of wellbeing indicator. When there is under- or overrepresentation of the groups across the categories of the well-being indicator and this malrepresentation rises then the value of x?. -> oo, and l21 —> d (let), and I22 —» d (let), where d and d are countably infinite values.

The segregation measures f21 and l22 satisfy ABUC and AWUC. These proofs are same as the proof of Proposition 1.2. ■

Now we use another proposition to prove that the measures of segregation satisfy RUOCI.

Proposition 10.7. The segregation measures I21 and I22 satisfy RUOCI.

Proof: In the case of RUOCI, regrouping of the population occurs and one group may be decomposed into two or more groups and/or two or more identity groups may be combined into one. We define у from x by A* = X] + X!(, and Af = Ajf for all i ф r, for x, у € R, г, и e px and t, v e py.

It can be proved that,

And finally we have,/21 (x?) =/21(y°) and/22(x?.) =/22(yj|)

The proof is similar to the case of combining groups by A;( = A) + A* and Af = Af for i Ф r,l.

The segregation measures l21 and I22 satisfy PSI, but the segregation measure f21 only satisfies PCI. These proofs are same as the proofs of the Proposition 1.4. ■

Proposition 10.8. The segregation measures f11 and Iй satisfy TP and EP.

Proof: Transfer principle states that, when initially > Ki or (~f)X > (/)*/ and we define у from x, where x,y € R+, r 6 y>, s, l e , by Х-ф = A* — p = (~f)x ~ P and Ay, = Xх, + p = {-f)x + p, where p = ^ e (0,1), and A*- = T for all i Ф r and j Ф s, l, then there is a decline in the value of segregation measured by the specific segregation measures that satisfy this property

Through the transfer of a person, the value of x% declines and x°rl rises, but the sum total of the value of (x® + x°rl) < (y% + y°rl), since p =fy > 0.

As a result,/1 (xg) >/1(y°) and/2(xg) >/2(yg).

EP ensures that when initially A* > A*( or (—/ > (—)*, and Axs < A*( or (ir)x > (—)*/ and we define у from x through this transfer, where x,y € R+, r,u e s,l e Ф, A* > A % and A*s < Xх r Then we have Xyrs = A* - pi, A'L = Xxus + pi, Xy, = A*, - p2 and Xyrl = Xх, + pi, where Pi = / € (0,1) and P2 = / € (0,1), and XI = Xy. for i ф r,u and j ф s,l, and segregation measured by the specific segregation measures that satisfy this property displays a decline.

Actually, through this exchange of persons the value of (л/ + x°H + xjjs + x{)ld) < (x° + x°rl + x“, + xPul), since pi, P2> 0.

As a result,/1 (xg) >/1(y°) and/2(xg) >/2(y°). ■

Appendix III

Proof of the Proposition 3

This proposition is also proved by some subpropositions.

Proposition 10.9. The segregation measures /31 and I32 satisfy CON, NOR, MON and MMV.

Proof: (a) The discrimination measure f31 satisfies CON, since for

—>-3c°0, for all i e where € R+,/(xf°) -> /(xf°), where/Щ°) € К =>

Ч^ГЮ-/Ю1 = о-

The proof for I32 is similar to the proof of f31.

(b) = { J2f=i where xfeBlK-V and В e R+.

If 3c^° -> 1 for all i e

j e фъ then —■» 0 andf1(x(P) -> 0.

Again, if дг^° —> 0 for all i e у and j e ф, then xjjP -> 1 and fl{x®) —> 1.

  • (c) These measures of discrimination satisfy MON. For the r-th identity group, r e we define у from x, if y* > xfy and y°° = for all i Ф r, where у > x => f31(y) > ^(x), and for given A, у > x => I32(y) > f^x).
  • (d) Each of these measures of segregation /31 and I32 reaches its minimum value 0, when there is no segregation in terms of association, i.e., 3c®° —> 1, and each of these measures reaches its maximum value, i.e., 3c®° -»■ 0. In other words, segregation is maximum while there is no population from lsf to (К- l)-th categories of well-being indicator for all i e y>.

The methods involved in the proofs to show that the measures f31 and I32 satisfy ABUC, AWUC, PCI and PSI and are identical to the methods involved in Appendices I and II. We use the following Proposition 3.2 to show that the measures I31 and I32 satisfy RUOCI. ■

Proposition 10.10. The segregation measures I3] and I32 satisfy RUOCI.

Proof: The segregation measures l31 and I32 having the following forms:

Or,

Now, RUOCI implies that for all x, у e IR, г, и e px and t,v e y>y, we define у from x by A* = X) + A^ and A* = Af for all i Ф r. For A* = X) + A?, we have Kj = tfj + fyy for all j e ф. Therefore, after the subdivision of the r-th group into f-th and i'-th groups we have the cumulative population distributions of these groups as: Г*. = Г-JJ. + Г-T for all j e ф, though we have £(Pfy = Е(Гр.

Thus, the value of щА- is invariant with this subdivision of one group and x®s are invariant with this subdivision of population of the particular group.

The proof of the second part of this property is almost similar to the first part. Now Proposition 3.3 is used to show that the segregation measures I31 and I32 satisfy SIC. ■

Proposition 10.11. The segregation measures I31 and 132 satisfy SIC.

Proof: This property states that for all x,y € R, г, и e for x = (x,X2,..., xr, .,xM) and у = (yi,y2,... ,yu,.. .,y„... ,ум) => /(x) = /(y). However, for all Xj, yi € R and s,l e ф for Xj = (3c,i,xq, ■ ■ ■,XjS,...,3c,7,...,x,k) and

?i = (УЯ/УС/ • • • 'Уih ■ ■ ■,уь/ • • ■ ,уж) =>/(x) Ф/iy)-

Through the change in the labels of two groups r and u, there is no effect on

the values of for all i € 9 and j 6 Ф, and we have (xjj1) =fl(y(P) and

fчф =f4yfi

However, when there is a change in the labels of the well-being categories, then the values of are unchanged for i e p but j < l, but the values

of are changed for i e but j >1 or s. Therefore, Z/31 (y*) and

f2(xf)*f2(yf)- ' ■

Proposition 10.12. The segregation measures I31 and 132 satisfy OEP.

Proof: The ordered EP ensures that for all r,u e and (/ + 1), (/ + 2),

(1 + 3) € Ф, where 1 < l < (/ + 1) < (1 + 2) < (/ + 3) < K, and < Г^, T^+1j

Tv p.v ^ p.v ~nrl pi ^ pi 1 uQ+iy 1 r(/+2) ^ 1 »(/+2) dnu 1 r(/+3) ^ 1 11 (1+3)'

If ГУ = Г* + pi, ГУ = F, - p2, Tkl+3) = r*,+3) + pi and P„(/+3) = P(J+3) - p2, where pi = fy, P2 = -fy and р,рг € (0,1), then we need to show that

-ftf?)) > (fi§°)

Actually, through the transfer of one or more persons from the к-th to r-th group at /-th category of well-being indicator, the value of Г,/ declines, and the value of (^by X^/bTi1 (щу _ l)2) also declines. The same type of transfer

of persons also reduces value of Г/((+1) and the value (^ EJLAeJc) ~ a)2) declines.

However, Г,((+3) > Г,; and Г„(/+3) > Г„?. Thus, the decline in the value of (pry _ l)2) through the transfer of person(s) at the /-th category of well-being indicator is less than the decline in the value of (Ylf=i (щЬу - l)2) through the transfer of person(s) at the (/ + l)-th category of the well-being indicator. Therefore, the condition is proved, and the segregation measure r1 satisfies the OEP. Similarly, the segregation measure P2 satisfies the property OEP. ■
