Scores by area
Each score averages the measures in one area, such as health. Each measure is first put on a common scale and turned so that higher is always better. Zero is the average country in an average year. One point is a typical gap between countries (a standard deviation), so +1 means about one typical gap above average. These are summaries, not measurements. See how the country scores are built and how the topic scores compare with each other.
| Score | Value | Rank, all countries | Rank, similar income | Mostly income? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Education score 2012 | +0.54 | 107 of 199 | 63 of 72 | proxy +0.81 |
| Infrastructure score 2022 | +1.04 | 94 of 210 | 68 of 80 | proxy +0.90 |
| Environment score 2023 | -1.09 | 211 of 213 | 82 of 83 | moderate -0.33 |
The last column shows how closely each score just tracks national income. The number is its link with GDP per person (the value of everything a country produces, divided by its people), from −1 to +1. A score marked proxy is mostly a measure of how rich the country is. Its rank among all countries says little that GDP per person does not. That is why the rank among similar-income countries sits beside it.
