The Czech Republic ranks 25th worldwide in terms of quality of life, according to the latest Social Progress Index, which evaluated socio-economic and other data in 163 countries.

The annual Index is compiled by the non-profit organisation Social Progress Imperative together with the international consultancy Deloitte. The Czech Republic scored 86.69 points out of a possible 100 points, an improvement from 2019, although the country fell one spot in the ranking.

On the downside, the country recorded a slight decline in terms of nutrition, medical care, water purity, hygiene and shelter. The Czech Republic also continues to get poor marks in terms of discrimination against minorities.
