Abstract
This article develops an index to measure the progress towards universal social protection which is based on the three core dimensions of social protection—household income security; household resilience to external shocks; and social inclusion. The index is based on the concept of social protection space. Application of the index to India suggests that the country will have to go a long way to achieve the goal of universal social protection. The article also reveals significant diversity in the progress towards universal social protection across states/union territories. The analysis suggests that a decentralised, state/union territory-specific approach is needed to achieve universal social protection in the country.
