Score Analysis
Analysis of Finland's policy signalling profile
Finland's Social Policy Signalling Index reflects a moderate to high intensity with a composite score of 57.00, placing it at the 89.8th percentile globally and ranking 19th out of 186 countries. This assessment aligns closely with the dimension scores, indicating a consistent level of policy signalling across various aspects. The country's signalling intensity is influenced by a balanced integration of Western-style progressive policies, without significant extremes in either direction. Finland's recent trends and policies appear stable, without drastic changes or events that would significantly alter its signalling intensity from the dimension scores, thus maintaining a score that mirrors the individual dimension evaluations.
The dimension scores, each at approximately 57, highlight an equilibrium across different areas of policy signalling. The Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, Education & Curriculum Signalling, and Media & Platform Moderation all contribute equally to Finland's overall signalling intensity. Legislative/Regulatory Activism slightly trails at 56.75, indicating a marginally lower intensity in this area. The Corporate/Investor Signalling and Protest & Activism Salience also match this consistent pattern, suggesting an evenly distributed approach to policy signalling across sectors. Finland's score reflects a steady commitment to maintaining moderate policy signalling intensity without substantial fluctuations or singular areas of focus.
