The Index of Social Exclusion, developed by the Agency for Social Inclusion, allows for a nationwide assessment of the extent and degree of social exclusion in the territory. The Index consists of five key indicators of social exclusion. The scale of the index ranges from 0 to 30 points, with 0 indicating the absence or minimum extent of social exclusion and 30 indicating the highest level of social exclusion. |
