| Summary: | The objective of this paper is to
develop a way to monitor and track progress on social
inclusion of vulnerable groups in Hungary, particularly
among marginalized Roma communities. This approach will
enable stakeholders to track the status of social inclusion
at the sub regional level, and can serve as a feedback
mechanism on whether projects cosponsored by the European
structural and investment funds (ESIF) are sufficiently
targeted to disadvantaged areas. The paper builds on various
Hungarian attempts to draft indicator sets to find and
subsequently gear European Union (EU) - funded projects
toward areas with the poorest social inclusion outcomes.
This report takes stock of different exercises undertaken
with Hungarian data to map, target, track, and monitor some
aspects of social exclusion at different levels of
disaggregation. The authors present four such attempts to:
(i) map marginalized communities; (ii) target the most
disadvantaged micro regions; (iii) track selected social
inclusion goals; and (iv) model at risk of poverty (AROP)
rates at the micro regional level. The report examines what
has been done in international practice in terms of
selecting and collecting indicators that measure social
inclusion. The report describes the method and process of
indicator selection for Hungary. The concluding section
summarizes the dilemmas associated with dynamically
measuring social change in the Hungarian context, and
presents development project parameters that should be
continuously followed in order to enable tracking and
(limited) monitoring. |
