• The Social Progress Index disentangles the social and economic aspects of countries’ performance, making it possible to compare a state’s quality of life to that of its economic peers.
• We define a country’s economic peers as the 15 countries closest in GDP per capita PPP.
• By analyzing a country’s performance relative to its economic peers, we can uncover which countries are best at turning each dollar of income into better social outcomes.
• We can also analyze the world’s performance relative to its wealth by comparing its scores to the 15 countries closest in GDP to the global average.

Notes1. Homicide rate and globally ranked universities are log-transformed for calculation.
2. The following indicators are capped for calculation: Adult literacy rate (99), secondary school enrollment (100), mobile telephone subscriptions (100), and greenhouse gas emissions (1,955.52).
3. Gender parity in secondary enrollment is transformed to reflect the absolute distance from 1 for calculation. Calculated absolute distance below 0.03 is assigned a value of 0.03.

Each component is calculated as the weighted sum of the individual indicators, where the
weights are determined by factor analysis.
Component methodology

For each dimension, we calculate the sum of each of the
components:
The Social Progress Index is the sum across the three dimensions:
