Abstract: Abstract Inequality is often mentioned as a factor contributing to the recent and ongoing regional changes in the Arab countries. This paper briefly highlights what is known about measured inequality in the region. The focus of the paper is on inequality measures that are based on national household consumption and income surveys, while the final section broadens the discussion on inequality.
