Coverage rates measure childhood access to school enrollment, a core component for calculating the Human Opportunities Index. Data is compiled by the LAC Equity Lab, focusing on inequality of opportunity in Latin America and the Caribbean. The dataset provides metrics for assessing how personal circumstances affect access to education.
Use Cases

Strengths
- Data is derived from a standardized methodology for calculating the Human Opportunities Index, ensuring comparability.
