Countries Are Ranked On Everything From Health To Happiness. What’s The Point? – Public Radio Tulsa

It’s a brand new ranking.

Called the Sustainable Development Goals Gender Index, it gives 129 countries a score for progress on achieving gender equality by 2030.

And “very poor” in much of sub-Saharan Africa.

In fact, that’s the way it looks in many international rankings, which tackle everything from the worst places to be a child to the most corrupt countries to world happiness.
