Social sustainability – Regional Index Men

The Men’s Regional Index for the theme Social sustainability is based on the indicators occupational accidents, number/100000 employed, elected representatives of local councils or regional councils who have been subjected to harassment, threats or violence, percentage (%), population 16-84 years who smoke daily, percentage (%), population aged 16-84 with risky alcohol habits, percentage (%), population 16-84 years old who eat fruit and vegetables more than 3 times/day, percentage (%); residents aged 16-84 who are physically active at least 150 min/week, percentage (%), Case injuries among persons 65+, 3-yearsm, number/100000 inpatients and Inpatient care, 3-year-old, number/100000 inv. The KPIs are normalised so that all regions’ 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.
