Sumario:How are the Member States performing in their challenge toward a fairer and more equal Europe? Based on the data measured by the EU Multidimensional Inequality Monitoring Framework (EU MIMF), we introduce the Multidimensional Equality Complexity Index, EU MECI, derived by structuring the EU MIMF data as a bipartite network of countries and indicators. EU MECI is defined upon the economic complexity methodology, exploiting the network’s centrality metrics to calculate aggregate scores of the capacity of Member States to ‘build a Union of equality’.
