Measuring Equity in Education

This landscape review explores the background characteristics international sources and implementers of development programs collect data on and to what extent they are employed in analyses of educational equity. More specifically, the review addresses the following questions:

1. What student-level (or youth-level) background characteristics do sources collect and report data on?
2. Do sources conceptualize and measure key background characteristics in the same way?
3. Do sources use key background characteristics as dimensions for equity analyses? What types of equity analyses are being done?
