The Human Stability Index translates complex human conditions into a structured, comparative measure. It aggregates indicators spanning conflict exposure, technological disruption, economic security, environmental stress, food systems, and public safety to assess how stability is maintained or eroded at population level. By indexing these pressures consistently across regions and time, the Human Stability Index makes changes in human stability observable, comparable, and trackable - particularly in periods of accelerating global uncertainty.
Explore the Stability Dimensions
The Human Stability Index conceptualises stability as an emergent property of interacting systems rather than an isolated outcome. It indexes a set of foundational dimensions - including conflict exposure, economic security, technological disruption, food systems, environmental stress, public safety, and social cohesion - that research consistently associates with large-scale human instability. Tracking these dimensions in parallel allows the Index to detect early divergence, compounding risk, and adaptive capacity that are often obscured when indicators are assessed in isolation.
See the Index Methodology
The Human Stability Index is designed as a longitudinal benchmark rather than a point-in-time assessment. It tracks changes in human stability over time, allowing patterns of deterioration, recovery, and adaptation to be observed across regions and periods. This longitudinal approach makes it possible to distinguish between temporary shocks and structural instability - a distinction that becomes critical in prolonged periods of geopolitical, technological, and environmental disruption.
