2015-2016 Sosyal Gelişim Endekslerine İlişkin Kanonik Korelasyon Analizi Sonuçlarının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Sosyal Gelişme Endeksi hem ekonomik hem de sosyal anlamda gelişmeyi başarmayı gerektiren içsel büyüme stratejisine öncülük etmek için sistematik bir temel oluşturmayı amaçlar. Bu çalışma, sosyal gelişme endeksinin içinde yer alan “Temel İnsani İhtiyaçlar” ve “Refahın Temelleri” boyutları arasındaki ilişkileri, 130 ülke için kanonik korelasyon analizi kullanarak 2015 ve 2016 yılları için karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. 2015 ve 2016 yılları için sırasıyla 0.926 ve 0.935 olarak elde edilen birinci (ve en yüksek) kanonik korelasyon katsayıları, bu iki değişken kümesi arasında yüksek bir ilişkinin olduğuna dikkat çekmektedir. Wilk’s Lambda istatistiklerinin ele alındığı durumda, tüm model 2015 ve 2016 yılları için sırasıyla 0.89 ve 0.896 değerleri ile oldukça yüksek bir genel etki büyüklüğü göstererek istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Ayrıca kanonik yüklerle ilişkili bulgulara göre, “Temel İnsani İhtiyaçlar” kümesine en fazla katkı “Beslenme ve Temel Tıbbi Bakım” değişkeninden gelmiş olup, “Refahın Temelleri” kümesine en fazla katkının ise “Temel Bilgiye Erişim” değişkeni tarafından sağlandığı ortaya konmuştur. Hem 2015, hem de 2016 yılı için en iyi performans “Temel İnsani İhtiyaçlar” boyutunda, Birleşmiş Milletler Milenyum Kalkınma Hedefleri’nin de temelinde yatan “Beslenme ve Temel Tıbbi Bakım” ile “Su ve Temizlik” bileşenlerinde gözlenmiştir. Endeksin iki boyutu birlikte değerlendirildiğinde ise, sosyal gelişmeyi harekete geçirmek için “Kişisel Güvenlik” ve “Sağlıklı Yaşam” alanlarının önceliklendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılabilir.

A Comparison of Canonical Correlation Analysis Results on 2015-2016 Social Progress Indexes

Abstract

Social Progress Index aims to form a systematic basis to guide strategy for inclusive growth which requires achieving both economic and social progress. This study has aimed to compare the relations among “Basic Human Needs” and “Foundations of Wellbeing” dimensions of 2015 and 2016 Social Progress Indexes through “Canonical Correlation Analysis” for 130 countries. The first (and the highest) canonical correlation coefficients which are 0.926 and 0.935 for 2015 and 2016 respectively imply that there is a high relationship between “Basic Human Needs” and “Foundations of Wellbeing” dimensions. In case the Wilk’s Lambda statistics are considered, the whole model has been regarded as statistically significant with a considerably high overall effect size of 0.89 and 0,896 values for 2015 and 2016 respectively. Besides, according to the findings associated with canonical loadings, the largest contribution to “Basic Human Needs” set has come from “Nutrition and Basic Medical Care” variable and the most effective variable in “Foundations of Wellbeing” has been revealed to be “Access to Basic Knowledge”. The best performance for both the year 2015 and 2016 has been observed in “Basic Human Needs” dimension with “Nutrition and Basic Medical Care” and “Water and Sanitation” components which lie at the core of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Having evaluated two dimensions together, it can be inferred that “Personal Safety” and “Health and Wellness” fields should be prioritized in order to trigger social progress.
