Score Analysis

Analysis of Spain's policy signalling profile

Spain's WokeMeter assessment score of 72 reflects its strong commitment to policy signalling intensity within the Western progressive framework, placing it in the 97.8th percentile globally and ranking it fourth out of 186 countries. This assessment aligns closely with its dimension scores, which also average around 72, indicating a consistent approach across various policy dimensions. Key factors contributing to Spain's high score include its progressive LGBTQIA+ rights and protections, gender equality measures, and institutional DEI policies. The country's legislative and regulatory activism, along with corporate and media policy intensities, further bolster its overall ranking. Spain's recent initiatives, such as reinforcing gender parity in corporate and political arenas, also contribute to its high signalling intensity.

Each dimension reflects Spain's robust policy environment, with scores consistently around 72, illustrating a broad and cohesive implementation of Western-style progressive policies. The Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Corporate/Investor Signalling dimensions all show similar intensity levels, indicating a balanced approach across different sectors. Legislative/Regulatory Activism, although slightly lower at 71.70, still signifies strong policy engagement. The country's consistency across these dimensions suggests a comprehensive and well-integrated strategy in maintaining high signalling intensity, particularly in terms of LGBTQIA+ rights, gender equality, and media regulation.
