TheWorld Social Capital Monitor is an instrument for measuringsocial goods andsocial capital created by theUnited Nations Sustainable Development Group in partnership with civil society actors. The project identifies social values such astrust,solidarity,helpfulness,friendliness,hospitality and the willingness to finance public goods with the help of anonymoussurveys. The surveys started in 2016 and so far 30,000 participants from 141 countries participated in the World Social Capital Monitor. Thesoftware for the World Social Capital Monitor was developed by the sociologistAlexander Dill of theBasel Institute of Commonsand Economics and the computer scientistNazmus Saquib of theTechnical University of Munich. The findings are expected to provide new insights into the 17Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and provide an alternative to traditional indices such as theHuman Development Index, as they take into account intangible assets.[1]
The monitor is using eight questions who can be rated on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 is the worst possible value (like lowest friendliness) and 10 represents the best possible value (like highest confidence).[2]
Survey results in the 76 countries with sufficient data as of July 2019. Indicated are the average values from the answers of all persons to the corresponding question.[3]
