In 2023, Singapore ranked first with a health index score of 86.9, followed by Japan and South Korea. The health index measures the extent to which people are healthy and have access to the necessary services to maintain good health, including health outcomes, health systems, illness and risk factors, and mortality rates. The statistic shows the health and health systems ranking of countries worldwide in 2023, by their health index score.

The Ocean Health Index (OHI) is a comprehensive framework for evaluating the health of the world’s oceans. Using the best available data, methods, and analytical tools, OHI assessments synthesize data into concrete scores organized around 10 goals for the sustainable use of healthy oceans: Food Provision, Artisanal Fishing, Natural products, Carbon Storage, Coastal Protection, Tourism & Recreation, Livelihoods & Economies, Sense of Place, Clean Waters, and Biodiversity. The OHI team continues to assess ocean health yearly based on the sustainable delivery of this suite of goals, scoring each goal on a scale of 0-100 based on current status, trend, and external pressures and resilience measures. 2021 marks the tenth year of annual global Ocean Health Index (OHI) assessments, with scores representing ocean health for 220 coastal nations and territories. Trend scores represent the nine year trend in the index score.

Scores from the 2022 global Ocean Health Index (OHI) assessment and accompanying data and models. The global Ocean Health Index assesses ocean health for 220 coastal countries and territories and has been conducted yearly since 2012. The Index describes how well we are sustainably managing 10 goals which represent the full suite of benefits that people want and need from the ocean. These goals include: artisanal fishing opportunity, biodiversity, carbon storage, clean waters, coastal livelihoods and economies, coastal protection, food provision, natural products, sense of place, and tourism and recreation. Each goal is given a score ranging from 0 to 100, and the full suite of goal scores are then averaged to obtain an overall index score for each region.

The Ocean Health Index (OHI) is a framework for assessing ocean health based on the sustainable provisioning of benefits and services people expect from healthy oceans, such as food, cultural and social value, and jobs. The basic philosophy of the Ocean Health Index is that it measures how well ocean systems are sustainably providing people with the benefits and services they need and desire from marine systems. The global OHI measures the status of these key societal ‘goals’: - artisanal fishing opportunity - biodiversity - carbon storage - clean waters - coastal livelihoods and economies - coastal protection - food provision - natural products - sense of place - tourism and recreation Each goal is scored on the delivery of specific benefits with respect to a sustainable target. A goal is given a score of 100 if its benefits are maximized without compromising the ocean’s ability to deliver those benefits in the future. Lower scores indicate that more benefits could be gained or that current methods are harming the delivery of future benefits. Goal Scores are based on several components: current status, likely future status, trend, pressures, and resilience. To calculate each Goal Score the average of Present Status and Likely Future Status is taken: CURRENT STATUS is a goal’s current value compared to its reference point, resulting in a score from 0 to 100. LIKELY FUTURE STATUS is the predicted status score five years into the future (once again, on a scale from 0 to 100), which is estimated by adjusting the current status score by 3 variables: TREND which is the change in a goal’s status observed over the most recent five years. PRESSURES which are the ecological and social factors that decrease a goal’s status. RESILIENCE which are ecological factors and social initiatives (policies, laws, etc) that mitigate the pressures acting on a goal. A region’s Index Score is the average of its goal scores. Goal scores are weighted equally in global assessments, but independent assessments could weight them differently depending on local conditions and values. The Global Score is the average of scores for all assessed regions weighted by EEZ area. The data included in Data360 is a subset of the data available from the source. Please refer to the source for complete data and methodology details. This collection includes only a subset of indicators from the source dataset.

Quality of Life Index (higher is better) is an estimation of overall quality of life by using an empirical formula which takes into account purchasing power index (higher is better), pollution index (lower is better), house price to income ratio (lower is better), cost of living index (lower is better), safety index (higher is better), health care index (higher is better), traffic commute time index (lower is better) and climate index (higher is better).

Current formula (written in Java programming language):

index.main = Math.max(0, 100 + purchasingPowerInclRentIndex / 2.5 - (housePriceToIncomeRatio * 1.0) - costOfLivingIndex / 10 + safetyIndex / 2.0 + healthIndex / 2.5 - trafficTimeIndex / 2.0 - pollutionIndex * 2.0 / 3.0 + climateIndex / 3.0);

For details how purchasing power (including rent) index, pollution index, property price to income ratios, cost of living index, safety index, climate index, health index and traffic index are calculated please look up their respective pages.

Formula used between June 2017 and Decembar 2017

We decided to decrease weight from costOfLivingIndex in this formula:

index.main = Math.max(0, 100 + purchasingPowerInclRentIndex / 2.5 - (housePriceToIncomeRatio * 1.0) - costOfLivingIndex / 5 + safetyIndex / 2.0 + healthIndex / 2.5 - trafficTimeIndex / 2.0 - pollutionIndex * 2.0 / 3.0 + climateIndex / 3.0);

The World Happiness 2017, which ranks 155 countries by their happiness levels, was released at the United Nations at an event celebrating International Day of Happiness on March 20th. The report continues to gain global recognition as governments, organizations and civil society increasingly use happiness indicators to inform their policy-making decisions. Leading experts across fields – economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, health, public policy and more – describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations. The reports review the state of happiness in the world today and show how the new science of happiness explains personal and national variations in happiness.

The scores are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This question, known as the Cantril ladder, asks respondents to think of a ladder with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0 and to rate their own current lives on that scale. The scores are from nationally representative samples for 2017 and use the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The columns following the happiness score estimate the extent to which each of six factors – economic production, social support, life expectancy, freedom, absence of corruption, and generosity – contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than they are in Dystopia, a hypothetical country that has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors. They have no impact on the total score reported for each country, but they do explain why some countries rank higher than others.
