Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index: August 2013Ipsos UK
The latest Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index provides further evidence that British consumers are becoming more optimistic about the state of the economy.
Some 23% now say the British economy is in “good” shape, up 4 points on June and more than double the level of twelve months ago (when the figure stood at 11%).
This pattern is not evident in all European countries. As the table below shows, in France, Italy and Spain, consumers are just as downbeat now in their assessments as they were a year ago.
The Global AgeWatch Index measures how well 96 countries are supporting their older populations, in terms of health, income, employment and education and the enabling environment.
This year, Norway comes first, replacing Sweden from last year. Apart from Japan, all the top 10 countries are again in Western Europe, North America and Australasia. Afghanistan comes bottom again.
This presentation is to help navigate the architecture, methodology and data behind the Global AgeWatch Index.
Although Americans are more positive than the rest of the world, we are still mostly pessimistic: Results from the January 2018 Ipsos What Worries the World Study.
989 318 births were recorded in 2017, an increase of 2,1% compared with 2016. 9% of these were late registrations.
Mothers aged 35 years and older accounted for 14,7% of all #births. The median age of mothers was 27 years.
Births occurring to adolescents aged 10–19 years accounted for 11% of births in 2017, down from 13% in 2016.

What worries the world? Great Britain - January 2018Ipsos UK
Our latest What Worries the World study finds most people across the participating 27 nations believe their country is on the wrong track — Brazil (83%), Mexico (82%), Italy (82%) and Hungary (76%) being the most anxious of nations. South Africa 27% (up 17 points) and Canada 57% (up 7 percentage points) have seen the biggest increases in optimism. In Britain, slightly more than average think the country is on the wrong track (65%) but this is a reduction of five points since December.
This month has seen Ipsos MORI’s Economic Optimism Index reach record levels (LINK), with 53% of Britons now expecting to see an improvement in the economy over the next 12 months.
This turnaround in economic confidence is underlined by the latest findings from the Ipsos Economic Pulse – a monthly tracker of the global mood, running in 25 countries.
In April 2013, just 13% of the British public said the economy was in “good shape”. Now that figure stands at 37%.
It is seven years since we last looked at the impact of immigration in Ireland. A lot has changed in the meantime, and this study - presented at the National Integration Conference & Debate in St Patrick's College on 30th April 2015 - paints a picture of change and continuity.

This presentation on a DRM for health dossier demonstrates how countries might utilize available data to hold more productive discussions concerning domestic resource mobilization for health.
The 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer shares disturbing news about a widening gap in trust in all major institutions between the informed public and mass population.
The story for the healthcare industry is a cautionary tale and one that bears watching. At a global level, and using general population (informed public plus mass population) findings* with 28 countries surveyed, healthcare is near the bottom with a trust score of 61, just ahead of Telecommunications, Energy and Financial Services.

Findings from the Social Progress Index: US Statessocprog
The Social Progress Index: US States is an objective, transparent measure that compares quality of life in all 50 states. The Social Progress Index is meant to complement, not replace, economic measures like GDP per capita and Median Household Income. These measures only tell half the story about what life is really like for ordinary Americans. The Social Progress Index™ highlights the issues and the individuals that are invisible when only looking at changes in the economy. The Social Progress Imperative, a US-based nonprofit, created the index to help local officials, businesses and community organizations understand how well people are truly living, how economic changes are affecting quality of life, and what improvements can have the greatest impact on society.

2017 Indice de Progreso Social Informe Metodologicosocprog
Aunque existe una estrecha relación entre el desempeño económico, medido por el PIB PPA per cápita, 1 y el desempeño en el Índice de Progreso Social, algunos países logran un nivel de progreso social mucho más alto en comparación con países con un PIB per cápita similar. Por ejemplo, Nepal logra un puntaje de 60.08 en el índice de Progreso Social, con un PIB per cápita de $2,312, mientras
que Yemen, con un PIB per cápita de $2,649 logra apenas un 43.46. El Índice demuestra que el crecimiento económico no es suficiente para el progreso social. Países y comunidades que quieren mejores vidas para sus ciudadanos necesitan ir más allá del crecimiento económico a la hora de diseñar sus estrategias de desarrollo.

2017 Social Progress Index Findings Presentationsocprog
The 2017 Social Progress Index launched June 21. Though there is a strong relationship between economic performance, as measured by GDP PPP per capita, and performance on the Social Progress Index, some countries achieve much higher social progress relative to countries with similar GDP per capita. For example, Nepal scores 60.08 on the Social Progress Index with a GDP per capita of $2,312, while Yemen, with a GDP per capita of $2,649, scores only 43.46. The Index demonstrates that economic growth is not sufficient for social progress. Countries and communities that want better lives for their citizens need to go beyond economic growth alone in designing their development strategies.

Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

30. Global change in Social
Progress 2014-2017
Since 2014, the world aggregate score on the Social
Progress Index has improved by 1.66 points
2017: 64.852014: 63.19
The Social Progress Index relies on four design principles. It uses/is:
1. Exclusively social and environmental indicators: Our aim is to measure social progress directly, rather than utilize economic proxies or outcomes.
2. Outcomes not inputs: Our purpose is to measure the outcomes that matter to the lives of real people, not the inputs. For example, we want to measure a country’s health and wellness achieved, not how much effort is expended nor how much the country spends on healthcare.
3. Holistic and relevant to all countries: We strive to create a holistic measure of social progress that encompasses the many aspects of the health of societies.
4. Actionable: The Social Progress Index aims to be a practical tool that will help leaders and practitioners in government, business, and civil society to implement policies and programs that will drive faster social progress.
Our framework was designed with four key principles in mind:
It was designed to be relevant to all countries. Our definition of social progress is based on international agreements like the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights to ensure its broad applicability.
It was designed to be actionable. That is, each component of our index represents an area where stakeholders can take concrete action based on what the data shows.
It only includes social and environmental factors, which makes it possible to compare the social and economic health of a society side-by-side and delve into the relationship between the two.
It only measure outcomes, not inputs, to more accurately capture people’s lived experience.
