Hungary ranks 12th among countries in terms of future prospects, ahead of Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, according to reports index. According to the Future Potential Index, Hungary's fertility rate has risen, making Hungarian society more sustainable, although the number of births is still below the desired level.
In 2023, the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design Foundation established the Future Prospects Observatory, a non-profit organization whose main mission is to study the future prospects of social entities.
The Future Potential Index (FPI) measures the extent to which a country has conditions that can ensure a good life in the long term.
For example, it shows:
- The extent of the state's ability to provide peace, security and order,
- Whether a country can ensure the development of human connections and healthy communities,
- The country's ability to support itself and future generations economically and morally,
- In the end, creating a kind of balance in human life.
Research Director Petra Akzel explained that the vision concept on which this index is based focuses on the good human life in its entirety, that is, a purposeful and organized social life, adding that the FPI consists of 22 different indicators that measure different functions. And the effects. The indicators can be grouped into four categories:
Conditions of order and peace, conditions of connection and society, conditions of care and living, and conditions of balance and health.
Among the 38 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) In other countries, Japan and the United Kingdom are in the bottom quartile, and the United States is only 29th on the list. On the other hand, Israel and Slovakia are in the top ten.
Hungary is in the second quarter, ranked 12th, ahead of, for example, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States mentioned above
index Experts asked why Hungary ranked so highly in the index, almost making it into the top ten. “Hungary’s 12th place is due to the fact that we perform relatively well in several aspects, such as:
- Creating conditions for peace and order,
- Maintaining family and connection,
- employment and higher education.”
Experts noted that among the countries surveyed, Hungary has seen the largest increase in fertility rates since 2010, which may be due to Hungarian family policy. But they noted that the number of births is still below the desired level.
There were also some aspects that caused our country to fall in the rankings.
Hungary performed worse in terms of life expectancy, average wages, labor productivity, or alcohol consumption.
Experts noted.
“The top three countries in the 2022 ranking, Iceland, Israel and Denmark, are countries with outstanding performances in peace and order, connectedness and community, and care, respectively, but Germany and Norway, which follow them, also show similar results,” Oskar Zoltan Santo, Scientific Director, highlighted. , This matter. He explained that Iceland, for example, performs best in the area of peace and order, partly due to its specific geography, while Israel is among the best in the area of connectedness (family, belonging). Denmark performs best among all countries in terms of welfare and material wealth.
The index also addresses the general role of design in shaping future luxury, and systems for describing and measuring digitalization processes. In this way, FPI will be able to link in the future to organizational development, geopolitics and innovation.
