The index relates to costs ruling on the first day of each month. NATIONAL HOUSE CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX; Up until October 2006 it was known as the National House Building Index Oct 2000 data; The index since October, 2000, includes the first phase of an agreement following a review of rates of pay and grading structures for the Construction Industry and the first phase increase under the PPF. April, May and June 2001; Figures revised in July 2001due to 2% PPF Revised Terms. March 2002; The drop in the March 2002 figure is due to a decrease in the rate of PRSI from 12% to 10 3/4% with effect from 1 March 2002. The index from April 2002 excludes the one-off lump sum payment equal to 1% of basic pay on 1 April 2002 under the PPF. April, May, June 2003; Figures revised in August'03 due to the backdated increase of 3% from 1April 2003 under the National Partnership Agreement 'Sustaining Progress'. The increases in April and October 2006 index are due to Social Partnership Agreement 'Towards 2016'. March 2011; The drop in the March 2011 figure is due to a 7.5% decrease in labour costs. Methodology in producing the Index Prior to October 2006: The index relates solely to labour and material costs which should normally not exceed 65% of the total price of a house. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges, land development etc. The House Building Cost Index monitors labour costs in the construction industry and the cost of building materials. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges or land development. The labour costs include insurance cover and the building material costs include V.A.T. Coverage: The type of construction covered is a typical 3 bed-roomed, 2 level local authority house and the index is applied on a national basis. Data Collection: The labour costs are based on agreed labour rates, allowances etc. The building material prices are collected at the beginning of each month from the same suppliers for the same representative basket. Calculation: Labour and material costs for the construction of a typical 3 bed-roomed house are weighted together to produce the index. Post October 2006: The name change from the House Building Cost Index to the House Construction Cost Index was introduced in October 2006 when the method of assessing the materials sub-index was changed from pricing a basket of materials (representative of a typical 2 storey 3 bedroomed local authority house) to the CSO Table 3 Wholesale Price Index. The new Index does maintains continuity with the old HBCI. The most current data is published on these sheets. Previously published data may be subject to revision. Any change from the originally published data will be highlighted by a comment on the cell in question. These comments will be maintained for at least a year after the date of the value change. Oct 2008 data; Decrease due to a fall in the Oct Wholesale Price Index.

The historical series 'Civil engineering; input price index 2000=100, since 1979' represents the trend of the costs of labour, material and equipment involved in projects in various areas of civil engineering (in Dutch: Grond-, Weg- en Waterbouw (GWW)) in the Netherlands. This series was created by linking independently calculated series from the past. At this moment, there are eight areas within civil engineering. These areas are based on the standard Classification Products to Activity (CPA). There is also one area of which the observation has stopped. For each area a series is calculated based on the price developments of various cost components of which the product to be realised -in this case a civil engineering project- is constructed.. The price index for the total of civil engineering is a weighted average of the eight areas. The published price indices of civil engineering are based on the average price level of the month in question. Changes in the overall costs and 'profit and risks' are not taken into account. Changes in excise duties (such as that of diesel, used in civil engineering works, from 1/1/2013) are also not reflected in the price indices. Changes compared with twelve months previously are also published for all indices.

Data available from: The various series of price indices of Civil Engineering cover different periods. Some start in 1979, while others start at the shift to 2000=100. For each series, the period for which it contains figures is given below: - Constructions for fluids: February 1979 - Road construction: February 1979 - Road maintenance: February 1979; discontinued from October 2004 - Site preparation works: February 1979 - Constructions and construction works for utility projects for fluids Januari 1979 - Civil engineering works: January 2000 - Bridges and tunnels: January 2000 - Railways and underground railways: January 2000 - Constructions for water projects: January 2000 - Electrical installation works: January 2000

Status of the figures: Index figures up to November 2024 are definite. Other index figures are provisional. The period the price indices remain provisional depends on the moment that the collectively negotiated (CAO) wage rates for the construction industry are definite. This period can vary from 4 to about 16 months after the period under review.

Changes as of May 28th 2025: Following an adjustment in the weights, the figures have been changed. The months February to April have also been added

Changes as of February 28th 2025: The figures for January 2025 are added to the table. Also all the individual months from January 2024 were added to the table. This is due to an updated method with the new base year 2020=100.

Changes as of March 3th 2025: Figures were not put in the correct columns due to an error in the source file. This has now been corrected.

When will new figures be published? Provisional figures for May, June and July 2025 will be published at the end of August 2025.

Chile Transport Cost Index: SC: Technical Review data was reported at 110.020 2023=100 in Mar 2025. This records an increase from the previous number of 107.110 2023=100 for Feb 2025. Chile Transport Cost Index: SC: Technical Review data is updated monthly, averaging 105.160 2023=100 from Jan 2024 (Median) to Mar 2025, with 15 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 110.020 2023=100 in Mar 2025 and a record low of 102.610 2023=100 in Mar 2024. Chile Transport Cost Index: SC: Technical Review data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by National Institute of Statistics. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Chile – Table CL.I025: Transport Cost Index: 2023=100.

This dataset contains the extracted data from a systematic literature review for the design of a participatory process democratic quality index, used in public policies. The systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and searched the Scopus and Web of Science databases for relevant studies published in English, French and Spanish from December 2022 to March 2023.After screening and eligibility assessment, 12 studies were included in the final review. Data was extracted on the evaluation dimensions identified as important for democratic quality.The extracted data is presented in two tables:Table 1 summarizes the key characteristics of the 12 studies including validation of methods, methodology, sample, scope and setting.Table 2 organizes the extracted data by dimension of democratic quality including representation, independence, phases of involvement, stakeholder influence, transparency, resources, task definition, structured decision-making, and cost-effectiveness. It also covers data on additional relevant dimensions like easy understanding of information, quality of deliberation and facilitation, and methods of evaluation.

The historical series 'New dwellings; input price indices of building costs 2000 = 100, from 1990' shows the development of the costs (wages and materials) involved in building new dwellings in the Netherlands, and has become available by linking series which were calculated separately in the past. An input price index is based on price changes in several cost components involved in realising a product, in this case a new dwelling. Changes in other cost components such as building equipment (tools and machines), general costs, profits and risk are not included in the index. Other cost components, such as energy and transport, are also not taken into account as their influence on the final cost price is relatively modest. Land costs are also not included in the index.

From 1990 to December 1994 only figures of the materials are available. From 1995 onwards this series also includes wage figures. Also from 1995, figures are also available on total building costs by weighted aggregetion of these two series.

Data available from: - Materials: January 1990 - Wages: January 1995 - Total building costs: January 1995

Status of the figures: The price index figures for wages and the total construction costs are final until 2024. The figures for building materials are final until 2024.

Changes as of November 29th, 2024: Since this publication, a switch has been made to a different rounding strategy, whereby the changes are calculated on unrounded index figures and annual figures are calculated from rounded and published figures. With this switch there is more consistency with other statistics on Statline and statistics from Eurostat. As a result, mutations have changed across the entire series.

Changes as of June 30th, 2025: Figures of May 2025 have been added.

When will new figures be published? New figures are published about 30 days after the month under review.

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.

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.
