Legatum Prosperity Index
The Legatum Prosperity Index is an annual ranking developed by the Legatum Institute, an independent educational charity founded and part-funded by the private investment firm Legatum. The purpose of the Prosperity Index is to measure national prosperity. It considers both material wealth (traditional economic indicators) and social well-being factors. The ranking is based on a variety of factors including wealth per capita, economic growth, education, health, personal well-being, and quality of life.
As of the 2023 rankings, 167 countries and territories were ranked, and Denmark topped the list, followed by its Nordic neighbours Sweden, Norway and Finland. South Sudan was in last place at 167th.
