A New Measure of Socioeconomic Inequalities for International Comparison - INCASI2

Project aims at building a new analytical model of socioeconomic inequalities in order to:

1. Advance understanding of the complex phenomenon of socioeconomic inequalities by creating a new analytical framework at a comparative and interdisciplinary level.

2. Build an innovative multidimensional measure (DYSIC: Dynamics of Socioeconomic Inequality in Comparison) that is global, more comprehensive and realistic in the comparative analysis of inequalities between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean.

3. Create the INCASI Living Lab to produce diagnoses, contribute to informed decision-making and the design of public policies.

29 organisations are participating: 14 European universities from 6 countries (Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Finland and Great Britain), 11 Latin American and Caribbean universities from 7 countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil and Mexico), and 4 non-academic organisations (Latinobarómetro, ECLAC, INTAL and LAPOP).
