The Impact of Various Socio-Economic Indicators On Democracy: The Case of OECD Countries with Multiple Regression Analysis

Öz

A fundamental objective of societies is the progressive augmentation of their welfare, seeking to attain superior standards of living by expanding the consumption of goods and services. The realization of countries' economic growth targets also depends on many socio-cultural factors. Thus, the concept of democracy represents one of these socio-cultural factors. In this study, a cross-sectional analysis covering the year 2021 was conducted. In 37 OECD countries, the effects of inflation rate, share of education expenditures in GDP, national income per capita and corruption perception index on democracy index are analyzed. When the findings obtained from the study are analyzed, the variable that contributes the most to democracy and improves democracy with a change of 1% is the corruption indicator with a contribution of 5.208 points. In other words, the solution of the corruption problem feeds democracy to a significant extent. The variable that contributes second is education expenditures with a contribution of 2.164 points. The higher the expenditure on education, the higher the level of democracy. The third variable is economic growth with a contribution of 0.006 points. Democracy improves as economic growth increases. Finally, increases in the inflation rate worsen democracy by creating a disadvantage of 0.431 points
