Iceland ranked on top in Global peace index 2019

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.
