The Good Country Index

The Good Country Index measures how much each of 125 countries contributes to the planet. Announced at the TEDSalon in Berlin, the Index features some unexpected winners — and even more surprising losers. (Sorry, USA.)

Αν διαβασα καπου σωστα τα δεδομενα εχουν την βαση τους στο 2010, οποτε ισως ναι :)

Το επιβεβαιωνει και το γεγονος οτι ειμαστε αρκετα πισω στα Prosperity & Equality καθως και Health & WellBeing (Τα χειροτερα μας απο ολα τα αλλα κριτηρια)
how recent is the data in this Index?
Trying to figure this out took an enormous amount of time. No one has ever brought such a diverse breadth of data together. And the first thing you notice is that their timescales are totally different. Some of this stuff takes literally decades to collect. And some of it is very slow-moving stuff. For instance, it can easily take 15 years between a UN international treaty being tabled and being ratified.

So we ended up with the slightly disappointing year of 2010. Disappointing to anyone who doesn’t know how this kind of stuff works. The reality of the matter is 2010 is the epicenter of a cluster of where most of the recent data lies. That’s fine, this is the first Index, so in a sense it’s a baseline; this is our portrait of the world in this decade. And an awful lot of data doesn’t change year on year anyway.

Α επισης να σημειωθει οτι τα data δεν αφορουν το τι γινεται εσωτερικα της χωρας.
The Good Country Index doesn’t measure what countries do at home: not because I think these things don’t matter, of course, but because there are plenty of surveys that already do that.

What the Index does aim to do is to start a global discussion about how countries can balance their duty to their own citizens with their responsibility to the wider world, because this is essential for the future of humanity and the health of our planet
Κατα την αποψη μου, παρα πολυ ενδιαφεροντα insights και food-for-throught προκυπτουν απο αυτο το project.

Από την δικιά μου οπτική γωνία,τα παραπάνω στατιστικά είναι τελείως εσφαλμένα. Η retardia όχι μόνο δεν κατέχει την κορυφή ,αλλά δεν βρίσκεται ούτε στο τοπ10
