Inequality has existed since the first men, this should be measured and should build consensus on how to measure and compare across countries, states and entities of various kinds. Speaking of equality, it must be taken into account from what "angle" we are seeing the situation from the perspective of utilitarianism or not. Also influences the field of study of the similarities, for example, equality in health implies a series of equalities are associated as equal inclusion, support, education, freedom, etc. Amartya Sen asked "equality of what?" Because on many occasions to ask for equality with "A" harms other equality with "B".
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite index of the health index, education index and the income index.
