This study is a follow-up of Lin (1994) and Lin (1995), which assert that the rising income inequality in Taiwan since 1980 can be mainly attributed to changes in household composition. I find that aggregate income inequality was driven up by households with zero to one income-earners during the past two decades. The heads of such households are getting older and less educated. Such households are, furthermore, concentrated in rural areas participating in agricultural activities. I also find that the levels and distribution of economic well-being, measured by income per adult equivalent (IAE), differ from those of household income. Specially, the level of economic well-being enjoyed by rich households is not as high as their level of income, which is due to the fact that such households usually possess more adult equivalents. The converse is true for the poor households in the study.
