S. Korea ranks 28th among OECD nations in ‘social quality’: survey
By Korea HeraldPublished : Oct. 24, 2011 - 15:54
South Korea lags far behind other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) economies in “social quality,” a survey said Monday.
South Korea ranked 28th among 30 OECD member nations in the survey conducted by the Seoul National University Institute for Social Development and Policy Research.
The survey showed Korean society was relatively good in education and an ability to provide jobs, but one of the bottom-ranked nations in social cohesion (23rd), people’s participation in politics (29th), institutional capacity (28th) and civil capacity (27th).
Denmark was the top OECD country, with the highest level of civil capacity, welfare, social cohesion and political participation, and was followed by Iceland and Sweden, the survey showed.
The United States stood in 19th place and Japan ranked 23rd.
Turkey came in last place. (Yonhap News)
