Applying Sen’s capability approach involves tackling a number of challenges. These challenges include the specification and justification of a capability list for the particular evaluative exercise at hand. A second challenge is capturing the complex concept of ‘capability’, where possible going beyond observation of functionings. Thirdly, researchers must try to identify data sources which reflect the breadth and depth of the theoretical approach. The Equality Measurement Framework (EMF) is a new capability-based analytical tool that we have developed in partnership with the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which attempts to tackle these challenges.
