 0     joint_adoption grapher/lgbt_rights/2023-04-27/lgbti_policy_index/lgbti_policy_index#joint_adoption   2 major   Joint adoptions by same-sex partners       Measures if joint adoption policy is adopted. This policy allows for same-sex partners to legally adopt a child, with both parents being recognized as such.   
[
    "This policy is not measured in a binary (adopted/not-adopted) scheme; the author follows Frank and colleagues ([2010](https://www.jstor.org/stable/25782170), [2017](https://www.jstor.org/stable/26166859)) in considering that similar policies can meaningfully vary in scope, benefits, punishment, etc. So, he determines the robustness of each policy by reviewing five indicators.",
    "These indicators are (between parentheses are the scoring schemes): *Proportion of Population Living Under Law*, to acknowledge subnational variations (0-1), *Scope of Genders Subject to Law*, as they can be typically differentiated by gender (0: no law, 0.5: just men or women, 1: both), *Maximum Level of Punishment*, for regressive policies (0: no law, 0.2: less than 3 years, 0.4: over 3 years and less than 15 years, 0.6: over 15 years and less than life in prison, 0.8: life in prison, 1: death penality), *Ease of Access*, to benefits the law outlines (0: no law, 0.25: significant barriers, 0.5: moderate barriers, 0.75: little to few barriers, 1: no barriers, and *Evidence of Enforcement* that considers whether at least one case has happenedthe previous year where this was implemented (0: no evidence, 1: evidence).",
    "At least three different indicators are used to estimate the policy score, with the result that each policy score ranges from 0 to 1. Therefore, a score of 1 corresponds to that policy's most robust scope and implementation. This also means that changes in any indicator will influence each policy\u2019s overall score."
