Documentation

Description:
The SIPHER Inclusive Economy Datasets were developed to provide a meaningful collection of data that can be used by researchers and policy actors to explore the extent and nature of economic inclusion across Great Britain. A key topic of interest for SIPHER is the relationship between inclusive economy policies and wider health outcomes and inequalities. To help explore this we developed this set of inclusive economy indicators for use in modelling work. Currently, there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes an inclusive economy. At SIPHER we focus on economic inclusion rather than inclusive growth. Our collection of 13 key inclusive economy indicators was informed by an iterative co-production process with policy partners. The SIPHER Inclusive Economy (Local Authority Level) Dataset was launched in October 2023.
