The Quantitative Research methods is organising a webinar on theme - The use of survey data in the operationalisation of the capability approach. Due to the multi-dimensional and fluid nature of the capabilities approach, structured, large-sample surveys are less likely to be used to evaluate the progress of individuals on various dimensions of the capability approach. But our speakers have risen up to this challenge and share their insights about the same, from different geographies. Kate Sollis from Australian National University discusses it in context of Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) data set, Darlington Mushongera, from University of Witwatersrand analyses the Guateng City Region Observatory Quality of Life Survey, South Africa and Raffaele Ciula from Sapienza University (Rome) discusses the longitudinal survey of Bolsa Familia program at Brazil. We are excited to hear your comments on the same and look forward to a fruitful engagement for everyone.

The webinar will be moderated by HDCA fellow Prof Paul Anand, who will be sharing his insights about a similar exercise conducted on British Household Panel Survey and will involve a Q & A session at the end.
