Inequalities are multidimensional Outcome Income Wealth Opportunities Health Education Water, Sanitation, Energy Employment Population Groups Women/ Men Rural/ Urban Ethnicity/ Religion

Horizontal inequalities: e.g. Caste, Rural In India: caste is still the 3rd most important factor in determining access to a range of opportunities (1st: wealth, 2nd: residence) In Indonesia: opportunity gaps are closing, but more slowly for residents of rural areas, outside Java
