India Ranks 76th global social Mobility Index.
The report published
by World Economic Forum ( WEF) States that India has ranked 76th
place in the Global social mobility index. The report is shocking because India has bagged the 76th
place among the count of 82 countries. Denmark ranks the first among these countries.
The report was released at the 50th annual general
meeting of WEF. WEF says that there are few economies who have the right
conditions to foster social mobility.
WEF have measured
countries by 5 key dimensions , Health, Education, Technology, work,
Protections and institutions.
The other rankings of India stated by WEF is , India is 41st
in lifelong learning and 53rd in working conditions. These ranks are
also among the 82 countries .
The report also shows the area of improvement and
the areas which are, social protection and fair wage distribution. Even though India
provides such good education and India having many skilled labourors it faces
problems and need to improve in these areas.
This report is mainly about the inequalities happening in the society ,
a growing sense of unfairness , loss of identity and dignity etc. The government
should take serious effort in building a
economy where they ensure fairness and equal opportunities to everyone. Creating
societies where everyone has the same opportunity to fulfill their potential in
life without looking at their socioeconomic background would rather bring social
benefits in the form of reduced
inequalities and healthier lives, and this will also boost economic growth .
From
the BRICS grouping Russia bags the first palce and then followed by China. In this ranking the top five are Denmark being
the first followed by Norway, Finland , Sweden, Iceland . Then comes Netherlands , Switzerland,
Austria, Belgium and Luxemborg being the tenth.
WEF also stated that Increased social mobility can be a key driver of income inequality and by
providing 5% can boost economies until 2030.
