By using data to create compelling narratives, the American Human Development Project Index has helped garner support for people-centered policies. This easy-to-use, yet methodologically sound tool is an alternative to GDP and other money metrics. It reflects the distribution of well-being and opportunity in America by bringing together health, education, and earnings indicators into a single number.
Join American Human Development Project Co-Directors Sarah Burd-Sharps and Kristen Lewis, and those with a keen interest in using the Index to address the challenges facing ordinary Americans, as we examine a new way to understand well-being and access to opportunity in America today.
Explore
- How the Index can be utilized to gain a better understanding of the root causes of socio-economic disparities.
- How opportunity is distributed in America and which groups are surging ahead while others face the greatest risks.
- What tangible steps can be taken, in today's tight fiscal climate, to build an infrastructure of opportunity that serves a new generation of Americans.
A Philanthropy New York Collaborative Program co-sponsored by the Social Science Research Council.
