In the past State of Households reports, inequality has always been an important focus. In those reports, we explored the issue of economic inequality of households in Malaysia from various perspectives to provide a richer understanding of the actual situation in Malaysia. In this report, we further extend our assessment by providing a long-term perspective of the changing trends in inequality, touching briefly on how the standard measure of inequality in Malaysia could be improved to better reflect economic reality.
