Housing Affordability
Median house price relative to median annual income (higher = less affordable).
Raw—Stress—Inflation Rate
Annual consumer price inflation (year-on-year % change). Sustained inflation above central-bank targets (typically 2%) is a meaningful economic stress signal.

Annual % growth of real gross domestic product. Negative = recession, very high (>8%) often reflects overheating or recovery from a crash.
Raw—Stress—Government Debt (% of GDP)
General government gross debt as a share of GDP (IMF WEO October 2024). High debt constrains fiscal space for transition investment and is a structural stress signal. Japan ~252%, Italy ~139%, US ~123% — the high-debt regime is now fully visible across all 25 countries (previously WB lacked coverage for 12).
Raw—Stress—Age Dependency Ratio
Total dependents (under-15 and over-64) as a percentage of the working-age population (15-64). High values stress pension systems, healthcare budgets, and the productive economy; low values can signal aging crisis or population collapse.

Adolescent Fertility Rate
Births per 1,000 women aged 15-19. A composite signal of educational access, contraceptive availability, and economic opportunity for young women. Persistent high values mark inter-generational poverty traps.
Raw—Stress—Homicide Rate
Intentional homicides per 100,000 population. The most universally collected violence metric — captures social cohesion, rule-of-law, and conflict exposure. Vast range: from 0.2 (JP) to 35+ (parts of Latin America).
Raw—Stress—Work-Life Balance
Percentage of dependent employees working very long hours (50+ hours per week). High values indicate structural overwork that erodes family time, leisure, and mental recovery. Korea (26.5%) and Türkiye (28.1%) lead globally; Netherlands and Sweden under 1%.

Workplace Burnout

Life Expectancy
Average life expectancy at birth (years). Shorter life expectancy reflects accumulated public-health, mental-health, and lifestyle stresses.
Raw—Stress—Child Mortality (Under-5)
Deaths of children under five years per 1,000 live births. A composite signal of healthcare access, maternal health, nutrition, and socioeconomic conditions.
Raw—Stress—Alcohol Consumption
Total recorded alcohol consumption per capita (liters of pure alcohol) among the population aged 15+. A coping-mechanism proxy and major contributor to disease burden, family stress, and mortality.
Raw—Stress—Life Satisfaction
Average self-reported life satisfaction on a 0-10 ladder (Cantril ladder). The most-tracked subjective wellbeing metric in cross-country comparison. Nordic countries top the rankings (7.4-7.5); South Africa and Türkiye sit near the bottom (4.9-5.7).

Digital Addiction
Share of adults reporting problematic device use.
Pew Research / Eurostat ICTRaw—Stress—Automation Exposure
Share of work activities potentially automatable by 2030 (McKinsey Generative AI estimates). Higher = more labour-displacement pressure from AI and automation. Service-heavy economies face higher exposure than agrarian ones.

CO₂ Emissions per Capita
Annual CO₂ emissions per person (metric tons). Tracks the country's climate footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
