The "Egalitarian democracy index" is part of V-Dem's high level democracy indices capturing features of democracy at the most abstract level. The "Egalitarian democracy index" in particular captures to what extent the ideal of egalitarian democracy is achieved. It ranges from low (0) to high (1).
Conceptually, it is defined as follows: "The egalitarian component [...] encapsulates the ideal of power distributed equally among all citizens regardless of class, ethnicity, sexual orientation or other social groups. Assuming that material and immaterial inequalities inhibit the actual exercise of formal rights and liberties, a more equal distribution of resources, education, and health across various groups should also enhance political equality" (Coppedge et al. 2016, 583).
Coding rules
The index is composed of several components and lower-level indices applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2021) which in turn are indices built from a number of indicators. The index itself is "a BFA [Bayesian factor analysis] based on indicators of both equal power distribution and equal resource distribution (v2x_egal, based on 8 indicators)" (Coppedge et al. 2016, 583) [emphasis in original; note that variable names in italics refer to V-Dem's nomenclature in their dataset, not in WeSIS].
For the exact index aggregation formula see Coppedge et al. 2021, Appendix A.

Data release:- Version 0.001: Initial release
- Version 0.002: Updated with data from V-Dem v10 + two erroneous COW codes fixed resulting from country name mismatches
- Version 0.003: Updated with data from V-Dem v11.1
- Version 0.004: Updated with data from V-Dem v15
Revisions: Prior to version 0.004 data for Germany and Yemen were separated adhering to their COW code in a strict sense; as of v0.004 data is now in line with V-Dem's continous ID reflecting the "related unit coding" of WeSIS.
