Abstract: Estimation of multi-dimensional welfare measures are gaining popularity. Health is multi-dimensional and efforts to estimate multi-dimensional health inequality are fairly nascent. I estimate inequality in health using a normative index and decompose it into component parts. Inequality increases as health attributes become complementary. Inequalities at the state level as well as by caste and gender, are negatively associated with the level of social and economic development.
