  • there were no reports of such abuses. The government generally implemented effectively laws criminalizing official corruption.

  • Threats of forced labor for migrant workers
  • Threats of racism and workplace discriminatory practices
  • Rather low score in the indices on children's rights

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
