Austria

Austria's Social Policy Signalling Index score is 49, aligning closely with its composite dimension scores, reflecting moderate policy signalling intensity. The country's global rank of 32 out of 186 and its 82.3th percentile position indicate a mid-range level of signalling compared to global peers. The consistency in dimension scores, with most hovering around 49, suggests a stable policy environment with average signalling across various social policy dimensions. The lack of recent significant events or policy shifts in the past three years supports this moderate assessment, indicating no major deviations that would necessitate a higher or lower overall score.

Examining individual dimension scores, Austria presents a balanced signalling pattern across areas such as Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Media & Platform Moderation, all rated at 49.04. Legislative/Regulatory Activism slightly trails at 48.79, pointing to marginally lower signalling intensity in regulatory measures. The uniformity in these scores suggests that Austria maintains a consistent approach across different policy areas without a particularly strong emphasis on any single dimension. This uniformity reflects a moderate level of policy signalling intensity, neither leading nor lagging significantly on the global stage.
