Social Indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean is a diverse dataset of indicators designed to capture social conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The social indicators of development are derived from national household survey data, Censuses, and other sources, covering 21 countries from 1990 to the present. While the social indicators encompass traditional global metrics, the database also features tailor-made indicators in five areas to more accurately capture conditions in LAC. Those include:
1. Demographics
2. Education
3. Labor Market
4. Housing, and
5. Income
Moreover, unlike traditional aggregate indicators, the social indicators are disaggregated by:
- ethnicity and race (when available)
- gender
- geographic residence
- education, and
- income quintile.
The indicators are not intended to serve as official data for any particular country but instead aim to provide a comparable set of social indicators for the Latin American region.
