Economic Security in an Index of Economic Well-being: The CSLS Approach to Economic Security

Helen Boss Heslop

No 2009-13, CSLS Research Reports from Centre for the Study of Living Standards

Abstract: The objective of this research report is to assess the approach to economic security developed by the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (CSLS) in its Index of Economic Well-being (IEWB), and in particular the decision to have a separate economic security domain in the IEWB. We ask whether the economic security domain of the IEWB is detailed enough to capture the types of economic insecurity experienced by people living in the developed world. The report concludes with recommendations to improve the economic security domain of the IEWB.
