Amy Raub is Director of Research of the WORLD Policy Analysis Center (WORLD).  She leads WORLD’s research developing and analysing quantitative measures of national policy approaches that advance health, economic security, education, and equity in all 193 UN countries with a deep focus on creating actionable evidence for policymakers and civil society. With more than 15 years at WORLD, Dr Raub has advanced the development of quantitatively comparable indicators that enable the rapid identification of structural inequalities embedded in law, make legal loopholes transparent, support monitoring and accountability for whether countries are meeting their international commitments, and highlight gaps in legal protections that undermine effective implementation and enforcement of fundamental rights. She holds a PhD in Public Policy (University of Melbourne), a MS in Economics (The University of Texas at Austin), and a BA in Economics (Rice University, Texas).
