Score Analysis

Analysis of Norway's policy signalling profile

Norway's overall WokeMeter score is assessed at 62, placing it in the 92.5th percentile globally with a rank of 14 out of 186 countries. This reflects a high level of policy signalling intensity, particularly evident in its established frameworks for equality and inclusion. While the composite dimension scores average around 62, the country’s commitment to institutional DEI policies, including board diversity mandates and gender equality measures, supports its high overall assessment. Norway's consistent approach across various dimensions, including speech and expression and corporate/investor signalling, contributes to its position as a leader in Western-style progressive policy signalling.

Examining the dimension scores, Norway shows a balanced intensity across multiple areas. The scores for Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Education & Curriculum Signalling all align closely at 62.03, indicating a uniform approach to policy implementation. The Legislative/Regulatory Activism dimension is slightly lower at 61.73, suggesting a consistent but not overly aggressive legislative approach. The external data context, such as the Quality of Life and Press Freedom scores, both at a neutral 50, reflect a stable environment that supports but does not excessively amplify the signalling intensity in these areas. This balanced distribution underscores Norway’s commitment to maintaining comprehensive yet moderate regulatory layers across its social policies.
