- Access to electricity and internet.
Data Usage
The data on welfare and the way it’s managed by different countries will help government officials, NGOs, and organisations working on the local level to help citizens. It will provide meaningful context to academic researchers and students. The data will additionally assist data analysts and consultants. Some of the projects it can provide the necessary background for include:
- Assessing disparities in health outcomes, economic opportunity, and social inclusion across different countries and regions;
- Analysing the impact of public health interventions, social welfare programmes, and economic policies on welfare indicators;
- Understanding the interconnectedness of welfare indicators and the need for holistic approaches to addressing societal challenges;
- Identifying opportunities for policy intervention and investment in areas such as healthcare, education, social protection, and infrastructure development.
