Multidimensional welfare of municipalities in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Welfare is a multidimensional phenomenon. This means that welfare cannot be represented by a single variable such as social spending. Representation of welfare requires the consideration of multiple variables. This dataset presents a set of variables that allow us to confirm welfare as a multidimensional construct, as well as to construct a composite indicator that allows us to simplify its representation and facilitate its interpretation and understanding. Composite welfare indicators and uncertainty analysis of these composite indicators are also available.

福祉是一种多维度现象。这意味着福祉无法通过社会支出这类单一变量来表征。对福祉的表征需考量多类变量。本数据集提供了一组变量，既可用于验证福祉作为多维度构念的属性，亦可用于构建综合指标，以简化福祉的表征形式，并助力其阐释与理解。本数据集同时提供综合福祉指标以及针对这些综合指标的不确定性分析结果。
