Nicaragua's Social Progress Index: 62nd

Nicaragua is ranked 62nd on the Social Progress Index. Issues concerning the Basic Human Needs Dimension, Nicaragua does best in terms of Nutrition and Basic Medical Care, offering its citizens several opportunities to better their wellbeing by focusing on Shelter which means the country focuses on providing citizens with affordable housing, access to electricity and the quality of electricity supply. To my personal surprise Nicaragua surpasses other countries in regards to providing citizens with the access to basic knowledge and in providing people opportunities to improve their position within society. They also scored highly in personal freedom and choice but Nicaragua would benefit from investing in giving citizens access to advanced education and access to information and communications.
