Abstract
In 1979, the Levitan Commission identified discouragement as one of three main sources of economic hardship, and recommended the development of an index to measure the extent of the problem. Over 40 years later, no such index exists. This letter proposes an index of discouragement-induced hardship and documents its evolution over time and across demographic groups.
