The Social Progress Index (SPI) is a well-established measure, published since 2013, that is meant to catalyze improvement and drive action by presenting social outcome data in a useful and reliable way.
The 2024 Social Progress Index uses its 12 components and 57 indicators to measure the social performance of 170 countries fully and an additional 26 countries partially.
It combines social and environmental outcome indicators to calculate an overall score for these countries, based on tiered levels of scoring that include measures in health, safety, education, technology, rights, and more. In addition to the overall scores, three broad dimensions of social progress are also measured: Basic Human Needs, Foundations of Wellbeing, and Opportunity. In all, the SPI measures at least some aspects of social progress across more than 99.85% of the world's population.
