2023 Update International SERF Index Now Available

The 2023 Update of the International SERF Index is now available.  This year’s update covers three full decades—1990 to 2020—and includes country level data on five rights—the rights to education, food, health, housing, and work for two assessment standards—the high income assessment standard and the low-and-middle income assessment standard.  Additionally, it includes sex disaggregated data on the right to education, right to food, and two aspects of the right to health for both assessment standards.  You can find an overview of the 2023 Update HERE and download the 2023 Update data HERE.

The SERF Index Project continues to partner with the Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI). HRMI has adopted the SERF Index as its “income adjusted” quality of life metrics. HRMI’s data visualisation tool, rightstracker.org, now has been updated to include data from the 2023 SERF Index Update. This tool allows you to view graphs of country performance overall, by right, by sex, and overtime as well as to compare country performance. Just select “Income adjusted” under “Which performance benchmark?” from the Switch view icon.
