The objectives were: to promote local discussion on the most relevant
welfare dimensions at the regional level and in the daily life of its inhabitants,
as well as to identify the welfare metrics appropriate for the local context,
which will contribute to improving the design, monitoring and the evaluation
of public policies, as well as the rendering of accounts. In order to meet these
objectives and undertake a public policy based on evidence, a series of
meetings were organized with state agencies (education, environment, social
development, entrepreneurs, security and justice, most important
municipalities of the state), the Institute of Development and Municipal
Strengthening of the State of Morelos (IDEFOMM), the INEGI and the OECD.
In this consultation process, the data available at the state level was identified
for the development of welfare indicators, as well as information needs.
Following the methodology of the OECD, eight themes and the following
indicators were identified:
