Social Inclusion Index
AQ's annual Social Inclusion Index,[4] which was published between 2012 and 2016, evaluated 17 countries on across 21 variables including access to public and private goods, popular attitudes toward empowerment and government responsiveness, and the protection of basic civil, political, and human, and disability rights as well as access to justice. The Index tracked social inclusion within and across countries over the long-term, addressing the multiple dimensions of social inclusion, and drawing on existing statistical data sources including the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) at Vanderbilt University; World Bank’s Global Financial Inclusion Index; UNDP Human Development Report; and World Bank’s Socio-Economic Database for Latin America and the Caribbean (SEDLAC). Each variable in the Index was scored by country, and countries are then ranked by overall score and by individual indicator. The Index served to help broaden the debate—and scholarship—on this crucial issue, providing a platform for debate and discussion about social inclusion in the region.
Reception
The 2014 Social Inclusion Index generated major press coverage both in the U.S. and throughout Latin America including: The Washington Post,[5] NBC,[6] The Christian Science Monitor,[7] The Wall Street Journal,[8] Forbes,[9] Voxxi,[10] El País,[11] Voz de América,[12] among others. The press release was also featured in Reuters [13] and Bloomberg Businessweek.[14]
