Score Analysis
Analysis of Argentina's policy signalling profile
Argentina's WokeMeter assessment score of 15 reflects minimal policy signalling intensity, placing it 185th out of 186 countries. This low score is consistent with the dimension scores, all averaging around 14.97, indicating limited regulatory frameworks and institutional focus on Western-style progressive policies. The country's legislative and institutional landscape shows very little emphasis on initiatives like corporate DEI mandates, comprehensive LGBTQIA+ protections, or progressive content moderation. The lack of recent events or notable policy shifts further solidifies its position at the bottom of the global ranking.
The dimension scores reveal a uniform pattern of low signalling intensity across all areas. Each dimension, including Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Education & Curriculum Signalling, scores just under 15, indicating a consistent lack of emphasis on Western-style policy developments. The slightly higher score in Protest & Activism Salience (15.21) suggests marginally more activity in public expressions of activism compared to other areas, but it remains among the lowest globally. This uniformity in scores across dimensions highlights Argentina's minimal engagement with the kinds of policies that typically elevate signalling intensity in the context of this index.
