Score Analysis

Analysis of Austria's policy signalling profile

Austria's current WokeMeter Assessment Score is 49, placing it at a moderate level of policy signalling intensity. This score positions Austria at 31 out of 186 countries, in the 83.3th percentile globally. The score reflects the country's balanced approach to Western-style progressive policies, including moderate levels of institutional DEI policies, education and curriculum signalling, and media platform moderation. While Austria maintains some progressive initiatives, the overall intensity is tempered by relatively stable legislative and regulatory activism and a consistent approach across corporate and investor signalling dimensions.

Analyzing the dimension scores, Austria exhibits uniformity with scores of 49.04 in speech and expression climate, institutional DEI policy intensity, education and curriculum signalling, media and platform moderation, corporate/investor signalling, and protest and activism salience. The legislative/regulatory activism dimension is slightly lower at 48.79, indicating a slightly less intensive approach in this area. These scores suggest a moderate level of policy signalling across various dimensions, without significant recent shifts or notable events to increase or decrease the overall intensity. This consistent pattern demonstrates Austria's alignment with moderate Western-style policy signalling intensity.
