The researchers use a total of 13 indicators, spanning from employment and education regulations to perceptions of violence and safety.[5] The index takes into account proximity to armed conflict, financial inclusion, share of parliamentary seats, and other parameters.[6] Information is gathered from various sources such as the World Bank, the United Nations, and the Gallup World Poll.[7]
