Rising economic inequality through the distribution of income, consumption, wealth or assets is a significant challenge. There is considerable concern in Bangladesh about the growing income inequality. Available household- level information suggests that the distribution of income is considerably more unequal than the distribution of consumption. This paper attempts to understand income inequality among survey households in rural Bangladesh. A purposive sampling technique has been used to collect sample households from three Upazilas in the Kushtia district of Bangladesh. Study findings show that the overall Gini coefficient of income inequality is 0.404, whereas the Gini coefficient of consumption expenditure is 0.32. The study recommends the removal of barriers faced by poor households in assessing better off-farm employment opportunities to have an equalizing effect on income distribution.
