Methodology Update 2017

The Individual Deprivation Measure (IDM) was initially developed during a four-year, three-phase multidisciplinary international research collaboration (2009–13). The IDM is now undergoing further development to ready it for global use, through a partnership between Australian National University and International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA), with funding and strategic support from the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

This Methodology Update reports on research undertaken over the first eighteen months of this program to further develop the IDM, to ensure its technical robustness and to test its use in a range of different contexts.
