The Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society recently released its first annual Inclusiveness Index. Developed under the guidance of Haas Institute director and Mobility Partnership member john powell, the index measures inclusion and marginality in 138 countries and every US state using six factors: outgroup violence, political representation, income inequality, anti-discrimination laws, rates of incarceration, and immigration policies.
“The goal of the Inclusiveness Index initiative, “ write the authors, “is to identify policies, interventions, and other levers that have proven effective at ameliorating marginality and promoting inclusivity, belonging, and equity.”
