Abstract: In the new period, inequality in China has new features, and traditional single-dimension inequality is unable to adapt to the multidimensional nature. This paper extends the perspective of quantitative inequality from one dimension to multiple dimensions, measures the multidimensional inequality of income, education and medical treatment using three methods, and gives the decomposition of multidimensional inequality index. It shows that the multidimensional inequality in China has improved from 2010 to 2014. The income inequality is still the one with the biggest contribution. The suggestion is that it is important to combine single dimension inequality with multidimensional inequality for understanding and solving the inequality problem. The narrowing of income gap does not mean the simultaneous improvement of multidimensional inequality. It should formulate targeted policies for people's livelihood, especially in the fields of education and medical care to reduce the differences and avoid deepening the multidimensional inequality.
