Social relations and trust – Municipal index

Municipal index for the theme Social relations and trust is based on the indicators Residents 16-24 years old not in employment, education or training (%), share (%), population aged 16-84 with lack of trust in others, share (%), population aged 16-84 with lack of emotional support, share (%). The KPIs are normalised so that all municipalities’ values are placed on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 is the worst and 100 is best (for some indicators, inverted scale is used). In the next step, the standardised indicator values are weighed together into indices at aspect level (currently, the theme is based on indicators in three aspects). This is done with averages, all indicators weighed together with the same weight in each aspect. The values are also at this level in the range 0 to 100. Then the index at aspect level is weighed together to the thematic level according to the same principle and these values also fall between 0 and 100. The weighting is equal for all aspects of the theme.
