| Demographic and Health Surveys
1 2 3 5 7 | The DHS is a well-established, standard survey that is applied across many developing countries. It provides high quality data relating to marriage, fertility, family planning, maternal and child health (including mortality and child immunisation), maternal and child nutrition, malaria and HIV/AIDs. Some countries include additional modules (on domestic violence, women's status, child labour or female genital mutilation, for example). Surveys are housed at a central source (at the link below) and will generally also be published on the websites of national statistical institutes. It is possible to download datasets. However, this may not be necessary unless you want to do statistical analysis with raw data given the comprehensive information provided in Final Reports. Data are often disaggregated by gender, location (urban, rural and by region), income level and education level. |
| European Quality of Life Survey
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | The EQLS is a European wide survey run by Eurofound. It is conducted every five years and has a focus on general living conditions as well as issues of social support, loneliness and exclusion. An online analysis tool is available though it is likely that downloading micro data would be the best approach to analyse fully across indicators and measures. |
| European Social Survey
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | The ESS is a biannual survey conducted across almost all of Europe. It is very comprehensive, covering topics of interest including health, the family, personal wellbeing and participation in many different cultural, business and community spheres. Data are freely available and cover a comprehensive level of disaggregation including aspects of gender, disability, income levels, age and education levels. An online analysis tool is available though it is likely that downloading micro data would be the best approach to estimate the range of inequality measures within the Framework. With this online tool it is possible to look at how privilege and disadvantage overlap across indicators and measures. |
| Sustainable Development Goal Indicators Global Database
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | This global database has been set up to track progress against the SDGs. You can select your country and view all indicators and information available across a wide variety of areas including health, education, water and sanitation, energy, poverty, employment and many more aspects. The level of disaggregation available varies a lot between countries. It may be useful to use this source as a starting point to find out the underlying source of information (a mapping between our inequality measures and SDG indicators is provided within the Framework). You can then consult this source directly and potentially find more disaggregated information available. United Nations, Sustainable Development Goal Indicators Global Database |
| World Values Survey
1 2 3 5 6 7 | The WVS is a global survey that has been going on for several decades. It covers around one hundred countries and is conducted generally every five years. This survey has information on several areas of interest, particularly in relation to values and attitudes and political participation. It has an interactive online analysis tool that is straightforward to use. Disaggregation of measures is limited but is generally available by income level/social class and by gender. The micro data are free to download. |
