Data for 2022

Mass Mobilization, 2022

2022, as V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

V-Dem's measure of mass mobilization asks how often, and on what scale, people took part in demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins and similar mass events during the year — including rallies organised by the state itself. It is an expert-coded estimate on an open-ended scale centred near zero, and a higher figure means more and larger events.

Mass Mobilization, 2022 covers 176 countries. Sudan is highest, at 3.265; Eritrea is lowest, at -3.267. The middle country reads 0.154. Against 2021, 158 values changed (82 up, 76 down), the same countries are covered.

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2022.

  • 175 distinct values among 176

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 0.077. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 176 countries has every column.
