This question will use The Economist's Democracy Index, resolving YES if the world average democracy score is lower in the next report (to be published in early 2024) compared to the last report (which can be found here).

Below are the world averages from the previous decade with net change in brackets:

  • 2022: 5.29 (+0.01)

  • 2021: 5.28 (-0.09)

  • 2020: 5.37 (-0.07)

  • 2019: 5.44 (-0.04)

  • 2018: 5.48 (no change)

  • 2017: 5.48 (-0.04)

  • 2016: 5.52 (no change)

  • 2015: 5.52 (-0.03)

  • 2014: 5.55 (+0.02)

  • 2013: 5.53 (+0.01)
