| Fragile state index, 0 (low) - 120 (high) | Vulnerability index, 0 (low) - 120 (high) | Definition: The Fragile States Index measures the vulnerability in pre-conflict, active conflict and post-conflict situations. The index comprises twelve conflict risk indicators that are used to measure the condition of a state at any given moment: security apparatus, factionalized elites, group grievance, economic decline, uneven economic development, human flight and brain drain, state legitimacy, public services, human rights and rule of law, demographic pressures, refugees and IDPs, and external intervention. The higher the value of the index , the more "fragile" the country is. |
| Security threats index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Security threat index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Security apparatus indicator considers the security threats to a state, such as bombings, attacks and battle-related deaths, rebel movements, mutinies, coups, or terrorism. The Security аpparatus also takes into account serious criminal factors, such as organized crime and homicides, and perceived trust of citizens in domestic security. The higher the value of the indicator, the more the threats in the state. |
| Factionalized elites index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Faction elite index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Factionalized elites indicator considers the fragmentation of state institutions along ethnic, class, clan, racial or religious lines, as well as and brinksmanship and gridlock between ruling elites. The higher the value, the more fragmented are the institutions in the country. |
| Group grievance index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Group dissatisfaction index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Group Grievance Indicator focuses on divisions and schisms between different groups in society – particularly divisions based on social or political characteristics – and their role in access to services or resources, and inclusion in the political process. The higher the value of the indicator, the higher the division of the societal groups in the country. |
| Economic decline index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Recession Index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Economic decline indicator considers factors related to economic decline within a country. For example, the indicator looks at patterns of progressive economic decline of the society as a whole as measured by per capita income, Gross National Product, unemployment rates , inflation, productivity, debt, poverty levels, or business failures. It also takes into account sudden drops in commodity prices, trade revenue, or foreign investment, and any collapse or devaluation of the national currency. The higher the value of the indicator, the greater the economic decline in the country. |
| Uneven economic development index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Economic development imbalance index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Uneven economic development indicator considers inequality within the economy, irrespective of the actual performance of an economy. The higher the value of the index, the higher the inequality in the country's economy. |
| Human flight and brain drain index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Human flight and brain drain index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Definition: The Human flight and brain drain indicator considers the economic impact of human displacement (for economic or political reasons) and the consequences this may have on a country's development. The higher the index, the greater the human displacement. |
| State legitimacy index, 0 (high) - 10 (low) | National legitimacy index, 0 (high)-10 (low) | Definition: The State legitimacy indicator considers the representativeness and openness of government and its relationship with its citizenry. The indicator looks at the population's level of confidence in state institutions and processes, and assesses the effects where that confidence is absent, manifested through mass public demonstrations, sustained civil disobedience, or the rise of armed insurgencies. The higher the value of the index, the lower the country's legitimacy. |
| Public services index, 0 (high) - 10 (low) | Public service index, 0 (high)-10 (low) | Definition: The Public services indicator refers to the presence of basic state functions that serve the people. This may include the provision of essential services, such as health, education, water and sanitation, transport infrastructure, electricity and power, and internet and connectivity. On the other hand, it may include the state's ability to protect its citizens, such as from terrorism and violence, through perceived effective policing. The higher the value of the indicator, the worse the public services in the country. |
| Human rights and rule of law index, 0 (high) - 10 (low) | Human rights and rule of law index, 0 (high)-10 (low) | Definition: The Human rights and rule of law indicator considers the relationship between the state and its population insofar as fundamental human rights are protected and freedoms are observed and respected. The higher the indicator's value, the less protected are the human rights and the rule of law in the country. |
| Demographic pressures, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Population pressure, 0 (low)-10 (high) | Definition: The Demographic pressures indicator considers pressures upon the state deriving from the population itself or the environment around it. For example, the indicator measures population pressures related to food supply, access to safe water, and other life-sustaining resources, or health, such as the prevalence of disease and epidemics. The higher the indicator's value, the higher the demographic pressures in the country. |
| Refugees and displaced persons index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | Refugee and Displaced Person Index, 0 (low)-10 (high) | Definition: The Refugees and internally displaced persons indicator measures the pressure upon states caused by the forced displacement of large communities as a result of social, political, environmental or other causes, measuring displacement within countries, as well as refugee flows into others . The higher the value of the indicator, the higher the refugee flow in the country. |
| External interventions index, 0 (low) - 10 (high) | External intervention index, 0 (low)-10 (high) | Definition: The External Intervention Indicator considers the influence and impact of external actors in the functioning – particularly security and economic – of a state. The higher the indicator's value, the greater the external interventions in the country. |
