Axiomatic measurement of multidimensional well-being inequality: Some distributional questions

► We treat well-being as a multidimensional concept focusing on different dimensions. ► The axiomatic methodology takes into account distributional concerns arising in measuring well-being inequality. ► The empirical application investigates the evolution of inequality in well-being across some EU countries between 1994 and 2001. ► A sensitivity analysis checks the evolution of well-being inequality as the parameters of the inequality index change.
