This paper examines determinants of per capita consumption expenditure and their relative contribution to income inequality in urban areas of Ethiopia. The paper has used the cross sectional data of income and consumption expenditure household survey collected by central statistics agency of year 1994/95,1999/00 and 2004/05.
