What Does the EDI Measure?
EDI is:-a population-based tool -a mobilisation tool-a monitoring tool
EDI is not:-an individual assessment-a prescription for action-perfect
The Challenge of Equity from the Start
• No neighbourhood has the majority of the vulnerability
• Virtually all BC neighbourhoods have more vulnerability than they should
• Therefore, improved investment in early human development is a priority everywhere
• In Canada, quality programs become sustainable when the middle class uses them
• Therefore, truly achieving ‘equity from the start’ means ‘proportionate universality’ (i.e. a universal approach, adaptable to local challenges, with resource supplements for high vulnerability areas)
