摘要：
The paper considers the problem of income inequality for a model in which households may have different incomes and different types. Household types can be ranked in decreasing order of needs. In this framework social welfare orderings are characterized. They imply inequality orderings and inequality measures, respectively. These measures are interpreted as a simple generalization of Atkinson-measures if equivalence scales are used. The equivalence scales are uniquely and implicitly determined by the corresponding welfare ordering.
