This year’s Social Progress Index is again below average for Sierra Leone, which continues to perform poorly on the world stage.

The 2022 Social Progress Index ranks 169 countries based on social progress by combining 60 social and environmental outcome indicators to determine a country’s overall score based on health, safety, education, technology, rights, access to knowledge, access to information and communication, inclusiveness, and access to advanced education, as well as taking into account the data of 27 additional countries when sufficient data is available to calculate component and dimension scores.

The index provides a comprehensive framework for gauging achievement, benchmarking development, and promoting higher human wellbeing.

Sierra Leone is ranked fifth out of the six tiers, which automatically means that it is not progressing in terms of development and human rights. Its percentage score is 50.48..

The degree of economic development and social advancement are clearly correlated. The amount of social advancement and a country’s income group frequently do not coincide, particularly in middle- and lower-income countries. Six stages of socioeconomic growth are created among the nations, from highest to lowest.

Independent of conventional economic measurements, the Social Progress Index provides a telling picture of the degrees of development in various nations. The overall levels of social progress that different countries reach as well as the patterns of social progress by dimensions and components vary greatly.

According to the indicator, high income countries frequently make more social progress than low income nations.

Congo, Guinea, and Yemen Afghanistan, Burundi, and other countries rank among the least successful.
