Within the Human Opportunities Index (HOI), the coverage rate is the share of children who have a particular opportunity, such as access to a service or a specified outcome. It describes the average availability of that opportunity across the relevant population. As an aggregate measure, however, it does not show whether access differs between groups defined by circumstances such as family background or place of residence. Populations with identical coverage rates may consequently display different degrees of inequality across these groups.
