Score Analysis

Analysis of Spain's policy signalling profile

Spain's current WokeMeter score stands at 71, reflecting a very high level of policy signalling intensity, consistent with its global rank of #4 out of 186 countries. This score is closely aligned with its dimension scores, each hovering around 71, indicating a balanced yet comprehensive approach across various dimensions of Western-style progressive policy signalling. Notably, Spain's adherence to the EU's Digital Services Act and its implementation of mandatory gender quotas for corporate boards contribute significantly to its high signalling intensity. These policies, alongside robust LGBTQIA+ protections and progressive content moderation frameworks, underscore Spain's commitment to maintaining extensive regulatory frameworks and institutional focus on DEI initiatives.

Analyzing the dimension scores, each category such as Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Education & Curriculum Signalling, consistently scores at 71.05. This uniformity suggests a well-integrated approach to policy formulation across different social policy dimensions. While the Legislative/Regulatory Activism dimension is slightly lower at 70.70, the difference is minimal, indicating that Spain's legislative efforts are nearly as intense as its efforts in other domains. The external data context, such as the Quality of Life Index and Press Freedom Score, remains neutral at 50, suggesting that while Spain maintains high signalling intensity in policy, these broader indices do not directly influence its score in this context.
