The GPI was founded by Steve Killelea, who is an Australian
technology entrepreneur and philanthropist. It is produced
by the Institute for Economics & Peace, a global think tank
dedicated to developing metrics to analyse peace and to
quantify its economic benefits.
Global Peace Index (GPI) measures the relative position of nation's and region's peacefulness. The GPI ranks 172 independent states and territories (99.7 per cent of the world's population) according to their levels of peacefulness. In the past decade, the GPI has presented trends of increased global violence and less peacefulness.
The GPI measures a country’s level of Negative Peace using three
domains of peacefulness.
>Ongoing Domestic and
International Conflict.
>Evaluates the level of harmony or discord within a nation.
>MILITARISATION
Highlights
>Despite a fall in peacefulness globally, there have been
increases in average feelings of life satisfaction and
wellbeing, perceptions of safety, and confidence in the local
police and military.
>Countries with very high levels of peacefulness averaged
higher scores for standard of living satisfaction, freedom in
life satisfaction and feelings of respect than those with lower
levels of peace.
>Trends in negative personal feelings more closely match the
trend in peacefulness. Perceptions of stress, worry, and
sadness have risen on average as the world has become less
peaceful.
>86 countries improved their rank, whereas 76 countries deterioration their rank.
