Mathematics Proficiency Coverage Rates for Human Opportunities Index

Coverage rates for childhood access to Mathematics Proficiency Level 3, a key indicator used in calculating the Human Opportunities Index (HOI). The data is produced by the LAC Equity Lab at the World Bank, focusing on inequality of opportunity in Latin America and the Caribbean. The coverage rate measures access without accounting for inequality between different circumstance groups.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the coverage rate for Mathematics Proficiency Level 3 over time to assess progress in educational access.
• Correlate the coverage rate feature with other socio-economic indicators to model determinants of educational opportunity.
• Use the coverage rate as a foundational metric for calculating the full Human Opportunities Index (HOI).

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative LAC Equity Lab at the World Bank.
• Provides a specific, standardized metric (coverage rate) for cross-country comparison.

Limitations

• Specific row count, time range, and geographic granularity are unknown.
• The coverage rate metric does not account for inequality of access between different circumstance groups, a key limitation noted in the source.
