This factsheet summarises the Multidimensional Inequality Monitoring Framework for the EU (EU MIMF), a framework developed by the Joint Research Centre as part of a pilot research project at the request of the European Parliament.
The EU MIMF is intended to play a role as a first, but comprehensive, attempt to establish a ‘common language’ and a common framework for monitoring and analysing inequalities in the EU. It is a framework that will also help broaden and deepen the scope of frameworks monitoring progress towards a more cohesive and social Europe, such as the Social Scoreboard for the European Pillar of Social Rights.
The basic premise underpinning it is that inequality is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.
Therefore, we draw on up to five different methodological approaches to study inequalities across 10 key dimensions of human well-being. In addition to defining and computing relevant inequality metrics at country level, we have developed and implemented a double-sorting algorithm that allows us: (i) to rank countries according to their performance in any subset of inequality indicators, and (ii) to identify in
which of the areas covered by these indicators the countries struggle — or find it easier — to make progress in their efforts to tackle inequalities.
