Does a country provide for its people’s most essential needs? 2. Are the building blocks in place for people to improve their lives? 3. Is there opportunity for people to improve their position in society? Strengths and weaknesses are relative to 15 countries of similar GDP: Country Performance Scorecards • Strengths and weakness analysis examines country performance relative to a group of comparator countries with similar resources (measured in terms of GDP per capita) • Holistic view of priority areas for action and identification of out-performing areas Relative Strength Neutral Relative Weakness n/a – no data available www.socialprogressimperative.org SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX SCORECARD OVERVIEW Social Progress Index rank: GDP per capita rank: 25 BASIC HUMAN NEEDS Score Rank 91.74 18 N 97.57 28 N 1 NEW ZEALAND FOUNDATIONS OF WELLBEING Score Rank 84.97 6 99.49 2 S OPPORTUNITY Score Rank 88.01 1 98.80 1 Reading the relative analysis scorecard.

Second, using these groups, countries at the top or bottom of a group may appear to have a misleadingly large number of strengths or weaknesses simply because the group the country is being compared to2is at a much lower or higher level of economic development. We therefore define the group of a country’s economic peers as the 15 countries closest in GDP PPP per Background. The component, dimension and overall Social Progress Index scores are scaled from 0 to 100 with 100 as the score that a country would achieve were it to have the highest capita. In order to reduce the influence of year-to-year fluctuations in GDP data, a four-year average is used (2010-2013). possible score on every indicator, and 0 as the score were it to have the lowest possible score on every indicator. With this scale, it is possible to evaluate a country’s performance relative to the best and worst possible score. After significant testing, we found that larger groupings resulted in a wider range of typical scores and therefore too few relative strengths and weakness. Smaller groupings become too sensitive to outliers. In some cases, it is also helpful to compare a country’s performance to other countries at a similar level of economic development. For example, a lower-income country may have a low score on a certain component, but could greatly exceed typical scores for countries with similar per capita incomes. Conversely, a high-income country may have a high absolute score on a component, but still fall short of what is typical for comparably wealthy countries. For this reason, we have Once the group of comparator countries is established, the country’s performance is compared to the median performance of countries in the group. The median is used rather than the mean, to minimize the influence of outliers. If the country’s score is greater than (or less than) the average absolute deviation from the median of the comparator group, it is considered a strength developed a methodology to present a country’s strengths and weaknesses on a relative rather – no Relative Scores Strength (or weakness). that aren/a within onedata average absolute deviation are within the range of than absolute basis, comparing a country’s performance to that of its economic peers. Neutral expected scores and are considered neither strengths nor weaknesses.
