WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AND SOCIAL PROGRESS?
Economic

THE PARADIGM HAS BEEN THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
MEASURED BY GDP WILL LEAD TO SOCIAL PROGRESS.

BUT SOMETIMES THE LINK BETWEEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND
SOCIAL PROGRESS IS MISSING.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT ALWAYS LEAD TO SOCIAL
PROGRESS…

DEFINITION OF SOCIAL PROGRESS
Social progress is the capacity of a society to meet
the basic human needs of its citizens, establish the
building blocks that allow citizens and communities
to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives, and
create the conditions for all individuals to reach
their full potential.

2015 SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX RESULTS
Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
SOCIAL PROGRESS DOES INCREASE WITH GDP PER CAPITA BUT
GDP IS FAR FROM THE WHOLE STORY
13
Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
SOCIAL PROGRESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Economic development alone is not sufficient to explain social
progress outcomes
• There is a non-linear relationship between Social Progress Index
scores and GDP per capita
• Social Progress Index scores display significant deviation from the
GDP per capita regression line
• GDP per capita is an incomplete measure of a country's overall
performance

WHAT WORKS?
UNDERSTANDING
COUNTRY PERFORMANCE
Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
BENCHMARKING DRIVES IMPROVEMENT
• Social Progress Index allows us to see how a country is performing in
absolute terms and relative to its economic peers. Every country has
areas for improvement.
• Social Progress Index allows us to look at a country’s performance
holistically, looking at how performance varies across different aspects of
social progress. It breaks down the silos between social issues and
helps prioritization.
• Benchmarking allows countries to identify areas of relative weakness to
help set strategic priorities for improvement.
17
Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
DEFINING PEER COUNTRIES
• We define a country’s economic peers as the 15 countries closest in
GDP PPP per capita.
• Once the peer group is defined, a country’s performance is compared to
the median performance of countries within the peer cohort.
• If a country’s indicator score is greater than (or less than) the average
absolute deviation from the median of the comparator group, it is
considered a strength (or weakness). Scores within one average
absolute deviation are considered neither strengths nor weaknesses
(neutral) within the cohort.

WHAT WORKS: BENCHMARKING TO GUIDE IMPROVEMENT
• Social Progress Index identifies countries that are doing well on particular
aspects of social progress. This allows identifying best practices and
potential solutions.
• The SPI reveals economic peers that have demonstrated excellence in
each area. Learning from frontier social progress performers, adapted for
local context, informs strategies for improvement.

  • 13. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress SOCIAL PROGRESS DOES INCREASE WITH GDP PER CAPITA BUT GDP IS FAR FROM THE WHOLE STORY 13
  • 14. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress SOCIAL PROGRESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic development alone is not sufficient to explain social progress outcomes • There is a non-linear relationship between Social Progress Index scores and GDP per capita • Social Progress Index scores display significant deviation from the GDP per capita regression line • GDP per capita is an incomplete measure of a country's overall performance 14
  • 15. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress DIMENSIONS OF SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX VS. GDP PER CAPITA 15
  • 16. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress WHAT WORKS? UNDERSTANDING COUNTRY PERFORMANCE
  • 17. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress BENCHMARKING DRIVES IMPROVEMENT • Social Progress Index allows us to see how a country is performing in absolute terms and relative to its economic peers. Every country has areas for improvement. • Social Progress Index allows us to look at a country’s performance holistically, looking at how performance varies across different aspects of social progress. It breaks down the silos between social issues and helps prioritization. • Benchmarking allows countries to identify areas of relative weakness to help set strategic priorities for improvement. 17
  • 18. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress DEFINING PEER COUNTRIES • We define a country’s economic peers as the 15 countries closest in GDP PPP per capita. • Once the peer group is defined, a country’s performance is compared to the median performance of countries within the peer cohort. • If a country’s indicator score is greater than (or less than) the average absolute deviation from the median of the comparator group, it is considered a strength (or weakness). Scores within one average absolute deviation are considered neither strengths nor weaknesses (neutral) within the cohort. 18

  6. SPI approach is distinct in its four design principles (non-economic measures, outcomes only, relevance to all countries; action orientation). SPI measures lived experience, not “happiness” from a subjective perspective and not distribution of income. Rather, we can look at the relationship between the Social Progress Index and life satisfactions and inequality. SPI is holistic. It is not siloed or balkanized. The field has been balkanized and this gets in the way of strategic thinking and prioritization.
  7. The definition of social progress is the basis of the three dimensions of social progress: Basic Human Needs, Foundations of Wellbeing, and Opportunity. There are some gray areas. For example, employment is an economic indicator, but there are social dimensions of it, such as the satisfaction and dignity that comes with work. The framework was constructed as part of an iterative process in 2011-2012 culminating in a release of a beta version of the index in 2013. We received considerable feedback on improving the indicators in the model, but none on the framework itself.
  8. This is the most rigorous index proposed thus far, quite unique Each component of the framework comprises between three and five specific outcome indicators. The included indicators are selected to fully capture the area plus they are measured appropriately, with a consistent methodology, by the same organization across all (or essentially all) of the countries in our sample. Finding indicators: Partly dependent on what is well measured – can capture some of the components better Part of our goal is prompting improved measurement in key areas. For example, we are working with researchers at the University of Connecticut, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International to develop better measures of human rights for our Personal Rights component. Level of analysis – national vs. other geographic units. We construct at national level. Clear variation by regions/cities/municipalities.
  9. Conceptually, 100 represents the best possible value and 0 represents the worst possible value. That is, a score of 100 on the Social Progress Index represents a 100 score on each of the indicators and a score of 0 represents a score of 0 on every indicator. The world as a whole (country scores weighted by population) scores 61/100. Note wide variation in performance across different components.
  10. Conceptually, 100 represents the best possible value and 0 represents the worst possible value. That is, a score of 100 on the Social Progress Index represents a 100 score on each of the indicators and a score of 0 represents a score of 0 on every indicator. We have been able to measure 133 countries with complete SPI data, covering 95% of the world’s population.
  11. Relationship with economic development While Social Progress does increase with GDP, GDP in and of itself is an incomplete explanation of a country’s social progress performance.
  12. At lower income levels, small differences in GDP are associated with large improvements in social progress. As countries reach high levels of income, however, that rate of change slows. Our findings suggest that the easy gains in social progress arising from economic development become exhausted, while economic growth brings new social and environmental challenges. (headwinds)
  13. SPI provides a powerful tool to understand a country’s social progress performance relative to GDP per capita. SPI is a strategy tool. With traditional balkanization of social issues, we don’t get strategic thinking. Ministries focused on isolated agendas
