The European Commission is at present examining the possibility of constructing a regional inclusive society index. Developing an index of this kind, however, is far from straightforward, since data are in many cases not readily available at regional level for the aspects which it seems desirable to include. Moreover, once such data have been assembled, they need to be combined in an appropriate way. This seminar will focus on these two broad issues – of the aspects to be included and the data available, or potentially available, to quantify them and the methodology to be used for constructing a composite index.
