Review text

This paper examines certain properties (invariance to population replication, additive decomposability and normalization) of a given class of inequality measures. By investigating the implications of the various ranges of the parameters, and by considering implications of ``within terms and ``between terms, decomposition structures of various forms are discussed and motivated.
