- 19. facing the challenge Domain Comparability issues Employment 100% directly comparable Participation in Society 75% were fundamentally comparable. No data existed to calculate indicator 2.2. Some questions were differently formulated. Independent, healthy and secure living 100% were fundamentally comparable. In four indicators, questions were slightly differently formulated in the local surveys. Capacity and enabling environment 83% directly or indirectly comparable. No data existed to calculate indicator 4.3 Some questions were differently formulated. Limited comparability & small sample size
- 20. facing the challenge Even though… direct or indirect comparability was reached in 86% of all the 22 indicators. Using raw data, we could obtain 10 indicators. 22 indicators of the AAI in Biscay 12 survey In order to improve comparability, accuracy and overcome some availability limitations, a survey was designed to get new data (based on original indicators). 1.362 CATI interviews.
