Social Progress Index

The Social Progress Index (SPI) is a tool that measures the social and environmental performance of countries, independent of their economic status. It focuses on aspects such as health, education, personal rights, and environmental sustainability. By evaluating factors like access to clean water, basic education, and freedom of expression, the SPI provides a holistic view of well-being and quality of life. Unlike traditional economic indicators, it prioritizes how well a society meets the needs of its citizens, helping governments and organizations identify areas for improvement and track social development over time.
