How to:
EDI results and
socio-economic index (SEI)
This map shows EDI results in each of the
five areas of development and the socio-economic index, or SEI, scores for
communities and subcommunities.
EDI: The five areas of
development measured by the EDI are: physical health and well-being, social
competence, emotional maturity, language and thinking skills, and communication
skills and general knowledge. Results are grouped into three categories:
developing appropriately (DA), experiencing difficulty (ED) and experiencing
great difficulty (EGD).
SEI: High scores indicate a
high SEI. Please keep in mind, however, that a score of 100 is not possible
because socio-economic status is complex and difficult to measure. The SEI is
also broken down by its five factors: economic stability (E), social mobility
(S), cultural similarity (C), vulnerability (V) and child care (CC). High
scores for SEI factors are positive, except for vulnerability where the reverse
is true.
