Score Analysis
Analysis of Netherlands's policy signalling profile
The Netherlands has a current composite score of 67, placing it in the 96.2th percentile and ranking #7 globally for policy signalling intensity. This assessment aligns closely with its dimension scores, reflecting a consistent application of Western-style progressive policies across multiple areas. The lack of recent significant events or changes in policy suggests a stable regulatory environment that moderately supports various dimensions such as education, media moderation, and institutional DEI policies. The country's commitment to maintaining a balance between regulatory frameworks and individual freedoms contributes to its high overall score within the WokeMeter index.
Examining the dimension scores, the Netherlands shows consistent signalling intensity across all areas, with scores clustered around 67.05. This uniformity indicates a balanced approach to policy implementation, with no single dimension significantly outpacing others. The highest weighted areas, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity and Speech & Expression Climate, reflect robust frameworks supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives alongside a climate fostering free expression. Likewise, dimensions such as Education & Curriculum Signalling and Corporate/Investor Signalling demonstrate moderate to high intensity, highlighting the Netherlands' comprehensive yet measured approach to progressive policy signalling.
