Results in brief

A New Measure of Socioeconomic Inequalities for International Comparison

The overall objective of the INCASI2 project is to establish a global cross-sectoral network of experts working on a joint research programme aimed at building a new analytical model of socioeconomic inequalities in order to: a) To produce effective advances in the understanding of the complex phenomena of socioeconomic inequalities creating a fresh analytical framework at a comparative and interdisciplinary level in a context of societies in "permanent crisis". b) To construct an innovative multidimensional measure (DYSIC: Dynamics of Socioeconomic Inequality in Comparison) adapted to the new realities shaped in this context that is global, more comprehensive and realistic in the comparative analysis of inequalities between Europe and Latin America & the Caribbean, and to monitor the situation and evolution of inequalities. We consider 3 DYSIC variants: 1) including 3 main dimensions as a base (education, occupation and income), 2) adding gender dimension and 3) adding dynamic trends. c) To create the INCASI Living Lab to elaborate diagnoses, contribute to informed decision-making and the design of public policies. It is designed to enhance the innovation process by embracing three core principles: fostering a collaborative open innovation strategy, utilizing a methodology centred on promoting the quality of life for individuals, and creating an environment for interdisciplinary thinking and action that enables the participation of diverse socioeconomic, political, and scientific agents. These objectives will be achieved with a collaborative work of an interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international network for Comparative Analysis of Socioeconomic Inequalities (INCASI) with 29 organizations: 14 EU universities from 6 countries, 11 universities and 4 non-academic organizations from 7 LAC countries and the USA, in order to face one of the most relevant problem in our societies: socioeconomic inequalities, and promote European values of social justice.
