Abstract: The study is an attempt to estimate inequality of opportunities across the countries of the world. We have developed six indices of inequality of opportunities. Each index measures the degree of inequality of opportunities in a particular dimension. Our results show that nature, extent and sources of income inequality are different in different countries of the world. In order to cope with the issue of inequality of opportunities, every country needs to adopt suitable policies depending upon its own context.
