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. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">In case the Wilk’s Lambda statistics are
considered, the whole model has been regarded as statistically significant </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb"> with a considerably high overall
effect size of 0.89 and 0,896 values for 2015 and 2016 respectively. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> Besides, </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">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. <b> </b>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. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli Üniversitesi}, organization={TÜBİTAK}
