Score Analysis
Analysis of Norway's policy signalling profile
Norway's WokeMeter assessment score is 66, placing it at the 95.7th percentile globally and ranking 7th out of 186 countries. This score reflects a high level of policy signalling intensity typical of Western democracies. Norway's commitment to institutional DEI policies, corporate DEI mandates, and strong LGBTQIA+ rights contributes significantly to this ranking. The country's legislative and regulatory activism, alongside consistent media and platform moderation policies, further bolster Norway's position. The absence of recent events influencing the score suggests stability in its policy environment, maintaining a high level of signalling intensity.
The dimension scores for Norway indicate a balanced approach across various aspects of policy signalling. The highest intensity is observed in Institutional DEI Policy Intensity and Speech & Expression Climate, each weighted significantly at 18%. Other dimensions, such as Education & Curriculum Signalling, Media & Platform Moderation, and Corporate/Investor Signalling, show consistent scores around 66, highlighting comprehensive and multifaceted policy frameworks. The relatively uniform scores across dimensions suggest a cohesive national approach to policy signalling. Norway's external data context, with average indices across quality of life, press freedom, and other factors, supports this high but stable signalling intensity without recent fluctuations.
