Abstract

For many people, striving for equality of opportunity – a world in which each person has the chance to achieve lives of their own choosing – serves as compelling goal for society. But how do we measure this kind of (in)equality? Francisco HG Ferreira, Paolo Brunori and Pedro Salas-Rojo introduce a new public data repository that gives comparable estimates of inequality of opportunity for over 70 countries all around the world.
