Business Tech wrote on how South Africa is one of the most inclusive nations in the world outside of Canada and the United States.
In accordance with this ranking from the Ipsos Global Advisor, the factors incorporated into the overall ranking were the criminal background, gender identity and sexual orientation, political views, religion, and immigration.
The article stated, “Notably, while South Africans are near the top of the rankings when it comes to religion, immigrants and LGBT Inclusiveness – we top the rankings when it comes to being the nation most inclusive of people with criminal backgrounds and extreme political views.”
Basically, the study reflected the Inclusiveness Index of the Ipsos group. In the research study, more than 20,700 people were included from 27 countries, where they asked questions of about 28 “types” of people.
The questions about the different types were correlated with the level of inclusion of that person into the society. Where the person is seen as a real “[fill in the blank nationality],” that became a test for the level of inclusion with the research.
The final constructs for the research were religious inclusiveness, naturalized-citizen inclusiveness, second-generation inclusiveness, LGBT inclusiveness, criminal background inclusiveness, and extreme political views inclusiveness.
With these average, one arrived at the score of inclusiveness within the Inclusiveness Index. In that, South Africa is among the inclusive societies in the world.
