Comparing the findings of the 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index (http://cpi.transparency.org/cpi2013/) and the 2013 Social Progress Index (http://www.socialprogressimperative.org/data/spi), it emerges that countries with lower levels of perceived corruption perform stronger on social progress, while those with higher levels of perceived corruption perform lower on social progress. Check back in April 2014 for an update to the Social Progress Index, which will include over 120 countries and cover more than 95% of global population.
