Social Progress Index Measures Nations According to Human Needs, Wellbeing, and Opportunity
Social Progress Index. The Social Progress Imperative. April 1, 2014.
This measure, created by Harvard business professor Michael Porter, seeks to address the problem of measurement, that economic measures alone do not fully capture social progress. As a consequence he established a national ranking of national ability to fulfill human needs, establish wellbeing, and create opportunity.
Of particular interest are the measures of Health and Wellbeing and Nutrition and Basic Medical Care.
According to the country ranking, the U.S. ranked 16th in the Social Progress Index, 23rd in Basic Human Needs, 36th in Foundations of Wellbeing, and 5th in Opportunity.
