Legatum Institute | What is prosperity? @legatuminstitute | Uploaded November 2016 | Updated October 2024, 25 minutes ago.
As a measurement of prosperity, the Legatum Prosperity Index™ (www.prosperity.com) is unique. It gives a far truer picture of the life chances for the world’s population, and the performance of nations, than any Index of GDP alone could hope to. True prosperity is as much about wellbeing as wealth. The Legatum Prosperity Index™ ranks nations over nine areas of potential success or failure: Economic Quality, Business Environment, Governance, Education, Health, Safety and Security, Personal Freedom, Social Capital and the Natural Environment. The Legatum Prosperity Index™, which covers 149 countries, is a fundamental foundation of the Legatum Institute's mission to understand, measure, and explain the journey from poverty to prosperity for individuals, communities, and nations.
