Mission & Goals
The Social Progress Imperative strives to improve the lives of people around the world, particularly the least well-off, by fostering research and knowledge sharing on social progress and using data to catalyze action. We provide a robust, holistic measurement tool, the Social Progress Index, which captures how well a society provides its people with the things they really care about, including health, safety, shelter, education, rights and freedom. The economic measures our world relies on only tell half the story. We tell the other half, equipping leaders in business, government and civil society with a common language of inclusive development and new tools to guide their initiatives.
EU Legislative Interests
Provide evidence-based insight and guidance to support priortization and monitoring of the EU Cohesion Policy Programme and European Green Deal (EGD)
Communication Activities
The EU Regional Social Progress Index aims to measure social progress for each region as a complement to traditional measures of economic progress. As it is intended to complement measures based on GDP, income or employment, such indicators are excluded from the index. Measuring social progress can inform the development strategies of EU regions. Please note that this index is not created for the purpose of funding allocation and does not bind the European Commission. Key findings of the EU regional Social Progress Index are available here https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/information-sources/maps/social-progress_en More details can be found on our website http://www.socialprogress.org
