Inequality is a topic that is widely discussed in almost every country. The issue has long
been recognised as one of the most important and long-standing social and economic
challenges. This study identifies multidimensional inequalities in households in
Kompleks Perkampungan Rambong, Baling, Kedah, such as income, health, education,
and well-being. It also defines the indicators for each dimension that cover inequality
elements critical to providing a thorough knowledge of household inequality.
However, obstacles must be overcome during the data collection process, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the imposition of a movement control order. In
addition, the issue of penetration with the study subject is also considered a stumbling
block. This paper also discussed the methodological issues and challenges in data
collection in accomplishing the multidimensional measurements of inequality among
households.
