This Chart Shows Social Progress Index 2016.
The Social Progress Index (SPI), developed by the Social Progress Imperative, measures the extent to which countries provide for the social and environmental needs of their citizens. Fifty-two indicators in the areas of basic human needs, foundations of well-being, and opportunity show relative performance in order to elevate the quality of discussion on national priorities and to guide social investment decisions.
The 2016 version of the Social Progress Index has improved upon the 2015 version through generous feedback from many observers. It covers an expanded number of countries with 53 indicators.The Social Progress Index focuses exclusively on indicators of social outcomes; rather than measuring inputs, the Social Progress Index focuses on what level of social progress has already been achieved within a particular country.
This index is based on three dimensions, based on 4 components:
1. Basic Human Needs, comprising 4 indicators: Nutrition and Basic Medical Care, Air Water and Sanitation, Water, Personal Safety.
2. Foundations of Well-Being with Access to Basic Knowledge, Access to Basic Information and Communication, Health and Wellness, Ecosystem Sustainability as its components.
3. Opportunity with Personal Rights, Access to Higher Education, Personal Freedom and Choice, Equity and Inclusion as indicators.
