Method, sources and how to cite
What this topic does not measure
Passport strength and visa-free travel are not measured with a key, because the data behind passport rankings is not licensed for reuse here. Trade as a share of the economy, the cost of sending money home, migrant numbers, refugees and student mobility are published as context: they describe how much crosses a border, not how well a country handles it. Services sold over the internet are measured under Digital & Technology.
How the Mobility & Trade standing is decided
A standing is this site’s ordering, named with its edition — never a publisher’s rank. 4 key statistics vote, one vote each; every country’s published value becomes a place within that key’s own field, the places are averaged, and the average is never published. A country needs 2 of the 4 keys to be placed.
