The Civic Engagement Index
The Civic Engagement Index is a measure that assesses how actively people participate in their communities and democratic processes. It considers activities such as voting, volunteering, attending community meetings, and engaging in civic discussions. The index helps gauge the level of public involvement and civic responsibility within a population. A higher score indicates more active participation, which can lead to more responsive governance and stronger community bonds. It’s a useful tool for understanding civic health and identifying areas where increased engagement may be needed to strengthen democratic life.
