Sweden

Sweden ranks as the top country globally in terms of social policy signalling intensity, reflected in its WokeMeter score of 77. This high score is consistent with the country's progressive stance on climate activism, gender equality, and LGBTQIA+ rights. Sweden's position is bolstered by its strong emphasis on institutional DEI policies and comprehensive education reforms that include inclusive curricula and gender-neutral language. Prominent climate activism, exemplified by figures like Greta Thunberg, and the country's robust commitment to environmental policies, further elevate its signalling intensity. The alignment of dimension scores at 77.05 across multiple areas such as Speech & Expression Climate and Education & Curriculum Signalling underscores a consistently high signalling intensity across various policy domains.

Analyzing the dimension scores, Sweden exhibits uniformity in its policy signalling, with scores around 77 in most areas. This consistency reflects a broad institutional commitment to progressive policies, including media and platform moderation and corporate/investor signalling. Legislative and regulatory activism, while slightly lower at 76.69, remains a significant contributor to Sweden's overall score, indicating a strong legislative framework supporting progressive norms. The external data points such as quality of life and press freedom indices, although moderate at 50, do not detract from the overall signalling intensity, which remains robust due to the country's proactive stance in key dimensions like climate activism and gender equality.
