As part of the development of the Equality Measurement Framework, we commissioned research on 鈥淢easuring Inequality: Autonomy - 皇冠体育app degree of empowerment in decisions about one鈥檚 own life鈥�.
This research report develops survey questions to capture and measure individuals鈥� autonomy: the degree of choice and control they have in key areas of their lives. Review of the theoretical literature led to the identification of three components of autonomy: (i) self-reflection, (ii) active or delegated decision-making, and (iii) a wide variety of high-quality options.
