2005, as V-Dem Institute’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

V-Dem's index of exclusion by socio-economic group asks how far poorer people are shut out: whether wealth decides who holds political power, whose civil liberties are respected, and who gets public services, state jobs and state business. It runs from 0 to 1, and a higher figure means more exclusion.

Exclusion by Socio-Economic Group, 2005 covers 175 countries. Somalia is highest, at 0.955; Denmark is lowest, at 0.010. The middle country reads 0.401. Against 2004, 45 values changed (16 up, 29 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 2005.
155 distinct values among 175
Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 0.666. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 175 countries has every column.
