  • Index of Economic Resources (IER/ER): Focuses on income, wealth, and access to material resources.

  • Index of Education and Occupation (IEO/EO): Examines educational attainment and occupation.

  • Index of Social Disadvantage (ISD/RESED): Captures aspects related to social disadvantage, such as low income, unemployment, and low educational attainment.
