It is an aggregated index value and is computed based on the information collected for 34 indicators under six components, namely, socio-demographic profile, livelihood, agriculture, human capital, health, and assets and amenities. This study, thus, aims to estimate district-wise livelihood vulnerability indices for these coastal states, by adopting the method proposed by Hahn et al.

Nevertheless, the research enquiries remain the same, i.e., who is vulnerable, what they are susceptible to, and what drives vulnerability. Over the years, countless studies have attempted to estimate vulnerability, employing diverse conceptual frameworks and methods.
