Netherlands

The Netherlands maintains a high policy signalling intensity, reflected in its WokeMeter score of 67, ranking it 5th globally. This score is in alignment with the composite and dimension scores, which consistently hover around 67.05 across most dimensions. The country's policies are characterized by comprehensive DEI initiatives, strong content moderation practices, and robust legislative activism, contributing to a high intensity of policy signalling. Despite the lack of recent events that might have shifted its score significantly, the consistency in its approach to Western-style progressive policies ensures its position near the top of the global ranking.

Analyzing the dimension scores, the Netherlands exhibits a uniformly high signalling intensity across various social policy dimensions. Notably, all dimensions such as Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Media & Platform Moderation, among others, are rated at 67.05, indicating a balanced and pervasive focus on signalling intensity. The Legislative/Regulatory Activism dimension is slightly lower at 66.71, but this does not significantly detract from the overall intensity. This pattern suggests that the Netherlands maintains a comprehensive approach to policy signalling across multiple areas, reflecting its commitment to maintaining high standards of progressive policy frameworks.
