The Index of Socioeconomic Performance – IPESE is an indicator that aims to measure the capacity and the quality in offering basic services to the population in each municipality in Bahia. The index is the result of the association of three dimensions: health, education and economy, separated in 16 different indicators. The IPESE is the result of an arithmetic mean of the obtained values in the three components: Index of Health Status – INS, Index of Education Status – INE, and Index of Economics and Finances – IEF. The result of the municipality shows its position inside the IPESE, which goes from 0 to 1, and the higher results indicate the best performances. The database used to the IPESE calculation, are administrative records available in DATASUS, IBGE and MTE/Caged/Rais. The presented results for the 417 municipalities in Bahia for 2012, indicate that a good part of the municipalities are medium/low level, considering the established goals in the indicators, showing that there’s still a notable space for a government acting through public policies to decrease socioeconomic inequalities.
