Jordan ranked 81st out of more than 170 countries in the world.

The index reflects the wealth of a prosperous life, and goes beyond traditional macroeconomic measures of a country’s prosperity, which rely solely on wealth indicators such as per capita income (GDP per individual).

The evaluation is based on 12 pillars, including security and safety, personal freedoms, governance and controls on authority, investment environment, health axis, educational axis, infrastructure, and living conditions.

Three hundred different indicators from more than 70 different data sources were used to build the database.
