Multidimensional inequality refers to the concept and measurement of inequality taking several domains in life into account. The rationale for the concept is that welfare includes several dimensions and that the distribution of welfare among groups or individuals consequently is multidimensional.

Keywords: Multidimensional inequality, poverty, Zambia
