The model generates a calculated score between 0-100, where in practice the lowest score at the national level is Ethiopia’s 32.1 and the highest is Sweden’s with a 64.8.

Are the building blocks in place for individuals and communities to enhance and sustain wellbeing?
Is there opportunity for all individuals to reach their full potential?
Does a country provide for its people’s most essential needs?
The Index has four key design principles: • Exclusively social and environmental indicators: our aim is to measure social progress directly, rather than through economic proxies. • Outcomes not inputs: our aim is ti measure the things that matter to the lives of real people. • Actionability: we want the index to be a practical tool that will help society’s changemakers to implement policies and programs that will drive faster social progress. • Relevance to all countries: our aim is to create a holistic measure of social progress that is useful to countries at all levels of income.
