Announcing the 2020 Social Progress Index
Today we present the results of the 2020 Social Progress Index (SPI) results that define a full picture of the 7.8 billion people’s lived experiences in 163 countries. This year’s index now reports social progress indices back up to 10 years of historical data points.
