Score Analysis

Analysis of Denmark's policy signalling profile

Denmark's Social Policy Signalling Index places it at a moderate intensity level, with a score of 52. This aligns closely with its current composite score, reflecting balanced policy signalling across various dimensions. The country's global rank at #25 and its position in the 86th percentile suggest a significant level of engagement with Western-style progressive policies, without any recent significant events tracked that might alter its standing. Denmark's policies indicate a consistent approach in areas like content moderation, corporate DEI, and LGBTQIA+ rights, albeit without notable recent escalations or reductions in signalling intensity.

Breaking down the dimension scores, Denmark exhibits uniformity with each aspect scoring approximately 52, including Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, Education & Curriculum Signalling, and Corporate/Investor Signalling. Legislative/Regulatory Activism is slightly lower at 51.77, suggesting slightly less intensity in legislative measures. Despite this, the scores collectively reflect a country with established, though not particularly aggressive, signalling intensity in progressive policy areas. The external indices such as Quality of Life, Press Freedom, and Safety, all scoring at 50, further demonstrate a stable but moderate engagement in policy signalling intensity without extreme fluctuations.
