Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Globally there is (too slow) progress on aspects of gender equality but no progress in tackling domestic violence. This has to change.

Yesterday was #Pakistan Day. 🇵🇰 has made some gains in #socialprogress since 2011 but has stalled since 2021.

Happy #StPatricksDay2025! #Ireland is a #socialprogress success stories - top 10 performer and consistent improver since 2011. Any yet, still challenges in water and housing affordability:

#Guyana has seen skyrocketing GDP thanks to oil revenue. But little or no sign as yet of a #socialprogress dividend:

#Greece is doing a good job at turning its #GDP into #socialprogress. Strong on nutrition, health and higher ed. Housing is the obvious problem but so too is freedom and choice:

The most improved country in the world since 2011 on the 2025 AlTi Global Social Progress Index is Saudi Arabia!
As you can see from 🇸🇦 scorecard, there is a long way to go. But there have been big gains since 2011 on health and education.

#Lesotho is in the news because it was mocked by Donald Trump. Its #socialprogress scorecard is actually rather fascinating: 🇱🇸 stuggles with nutrition, safety and health but is doing well on rights, freedoms and inclusiveness:

#Bhutan has attracted a lot of attention for Gross National Happiness. But how is it doing on #social progress? A curate's egg: strong on housing and rights; weak on nutrition, environment + higher ed

The world scorecard on #socialprogress makes for grim reading. But it also tells us that we already have the economic resources to do much, much better. @socprogress.bsky.social

Here is 🇺🇸 #socialprogress scorecard: 52nd in world on education, 44th in the world on health, 74th in world on safety, 38th in world on rights. Did #Trump #StateOfTheUnion address these challenges?
