THE DUAL CHALLENGE OF DEVELOPMENT

SOCIAL PROGRESS AFFECTS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND VICE VERSA


MEASURING WHAT REALLY MATTERS

“In an increasingly performance-oriented society, metrics matter. What we measure affects what we do.

If we have the wrong metrics, we will strive for the wrong things.”

Nutrition and Basic Medical CareDo people have enough food to eat and are they receiving basic medical care?

Water and SanitationCan people drink water and keep themselves clean without getting sick?

ShelterDo people have adequate housing with basic utilities?

Personal SafetyAre people able to feel safe?

Access to Basic KnowledgeDo people have the educational foundations to improve their lives?

Access to Information and CommunicationsCan people freely access ideas and information from anywhere in the world?

Health and WellnessDo people live long and healthy lives?

Environmental QualityIs this society using its resources so they will be available to future generations?

Personal Rights Are people free of restrictions on their rights?

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX AND GDP PER CAPITA?

23


SOCIAL PROGRESS DOES INCREASE WITH GDP PER CAPITA BUT ECONOMIC GROWTH IS NOT THE WHOLE STORY

19

Correlation = 0.7984


COUNTRIES CAN EXPERIENCE SIMILAR LEVELS OF SOCIAL PROGRESS

AT VASTLY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GDP PER CAPITA (PPP)

Costa Rica achieves a level of social progress (80.12) almost as high as the Republic of Korea (80.92) at less than half the GDP per capita of Korea ($32,385 versus $13,698).


WHILE OTHER COUNTRIES CAN EXPERIENCE VASTLY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SOCIAL PROGRESS DESPITE SIMILAR

LEVELS OF GDP PER CAPITA (PPP)

Estonia achieves a much

higher level of social progress

(82.62) than Russia (64.19) at

a similar level of GDP per

capita ($26,612 versus

$23,293 ).

OTHER FINDINGS


YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO LIVE IN LOW SOCIAL PROGRESS COUNTRIES

Social progress in the world looks different for younger than for older people.

Nearly 40% of the world’s people who are older than 55 live in countries classified as upper middle social progress or above, while just 22% of people aged under 25 do.

Today, youth are more likely to live in countries that lack basic medical care and clean water, that are less safe, less free, and less tolerant. This gap shows the critical need to engage youth in all countries on determining development priorities.


ELIMINATING POVERTY IS A GOOD START, BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH

High levels of extreme poverty are strongly correlated with low social progress.

But countries with very low levels of extreme poverty aren’t uniformly better on social progress. Their scores range from 59.45 - 90.09.

Country performance is measured against a group of 15 countries most similar in GDP per capita (PPP) using a 4-year average.

OVER AND UNDERPERFORMANCE ON SOCIAL PROGRESS RELATIVE TO ECONOMIC PEERS


COUNTRIES OVERPERFORMING ON SOCIAL PROGRESS RELATIVE TO GDP PER CAPITA (PPP)*

Some countries’ relative overperformance may be a sign of economic decline rather than success in creating social progress (e.g., Moldova, Kyrgyzstan).

* Graphic shows only those countries overperforming by a significant amount (one or more points).

Overperformance can signal very strong performance in social progress (e.g., Costa Rica, New Zealand, Rwanda).


COUNTRIES UNDERPERFORMING ON SOCIAL PROGRESS RELATIVE TO GDP PER CAPITA (PPP)*

Countries with natural resource wealth and countries afflicted by conflict underperform.

* Graphic shows only those countries underperforming by a significant amount (one or more points).

But so does one of the world’s leading industrial nations, the United States.
