INEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY - WHO ARE THOSE LEFT BEHIND?

24 May 2022

Building the D-Index To obtain the D-Index, inequality in access to an opportunity (or in the prevalence of a barrier) is generated by the formula: ? = ∑ ? |? − ̅| ? is the proportion of the group ? in the sample, (sum of ? equals 1) ̅ ̅ is the average access rate in the country ? is the level of access of population group ? , and takes values from 0 to 1 n is the number of groups d. [...] The analysis has been adapted so that the D-Index of a barrier (e.g., prevalence of stunting) still has the same interpretation as that of an opportunity: the lower the D-index the lower the inequality. [...] The tree is included in this section if the ethnic composition / religious identity of the household contributes to forming identities of the furthest behind group, and the sample size of the group is over 5 per cent of the population. [...] The figure below summarizes the information obtained from the trees presented above, highlighting the average rate, the rate of the best- off group, as well as the rate of the furthest behind group. [...] 25 5.1 How large are the gaps in access to opportunities or prevalence of barriers? 5.2 Summary of gaps between the best off and the furthest behind groups Sample size of Size of the Rate of the Gap in rate between Average Size of best- Rate of best- Source Year Analysis reference furthest furthest the best-off and the rate off group off group population behind group behind group furthest behind g.
