This paper aims at highlighting the inequality aversion of the Cameroonian social planer. This is allowed by the multilevel (α, β)-decomposition of the α-Gini which integrate in its functional form a parameter of inequality aversion of the decision maker being related either to within-group inequality (α) or between-group inequality (β). Analysis are carried out by sex groups on data from the third and the fourth Cameroonian Survey on households. It's appear that the overall inequality index decrease between 2001 and 2007. The Cameroonian social planer appears sensitive to both within group and between group households' inequalities following decomposition by sex.
