dc.description.abstract	The combination of the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient is a widely used tool for measuring inequality in the distribution of income. In the present paper we suggest inequality curves which possess simple interpretations similar to the Lorenz curve and measures of inequality constructed by integral functional mappings of these curves. In addition we introduce inequality decompositions by factor components.	nb_NO
