Social Inclusion Index
The Social Inclusion Index is an innovative way to measure how effectively countries are serving all their citizens — regardless of race, income level or creed. It was featured in the Issue 4, 2016 of the Americas Quarterly magazine and printed as a special edition in form of a booklet.
