Abstract: The notion of multidimensional inequality has attracted attention lately, but mostly as a micro approach to measuring inequality in well-being in a more complete way. We argue that considering inequality in a multidimensional way from a macro perspective is useful for a better understanding of the structure of inequality in different societies. Different societies display different degrees of inequality in different domains, such as the economic, social, political, and psychological.
