position among the countries reporting — lower higher
| Figure | Value | Year | World rank | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prison populationPeople held in prison per 100,000 population, including pre-trial and remand detainees (World Prison Brief). | 270.0 | 2025 | ICPR World Prison Brief | |
| Corruption perceptionsCorruption Perceptions Index: expert and business surveys of public-sector corruption, averaged to a 0–100 score where 100 is cleanest. It measures perceptions — there is no fully objective measure of corruption (Transparency International). | 67.0 | 2024 | Transparency International | |
| Life satisfactionAverage answer to: "Where does your life stand on a ladder from 0 (worst possible) to 10 (best possible)?" — Gallup World Poll via the World Happiness Report. | 6.71 | 2025 | World Happiness Report | |
| Press freedomReporters Without Borders' assessment of press freedom from expert surveys and a count of abuses against journalists. On this pre-2022 scale a LOWER score means MORE freedom (0 ≈ best). It measures conditions for journalism, not press quality. | 23.9 | 2021 | Reporters Without Borders (RSF) | |
| Women in parliamentShare of seats in the lower (or only) chamber of the national legislature held by women, as reported to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. | 42.0% | 2025 | V-Dem via Our World in Data | |
| Electoral democracyV-Dem's central estimate of how far political leaders are chosen through comprehensive suffrage in free and fair elections, with the freedoms of association and expression that make real electoral choice possible — scored 0 (least) to 1 (most). | 0.80 | 2025 | V-Dem via Our World in Data | |
| Voter turnoutShare of registered voters who cast a ballot in the country's most recent national election. This reflects a single election, not an annual survey, so the data year can lag behind other metrics on this page (V-Dem). | 71.9% | 2024 | V-Dem via Our World in Data | |
| Human rights indexV-Dem's central estimate of how free people are from government torture, political killings and forced labor, and how far they enjoy property rights and the freedoms of movement, religion, expression and association — scored 0 (least) to 1 (most). Broader than the electoral democracy index above, which focuses specifically on elections and associational freedom. | 0.93 | 2025 | V-Dem via Our World in Data | |
| Prison overcrowdingThe number of people held in prison as a share of a country's official prison capacity. Above 100% means a prison system is holding more people than it was built for — a measure of strain on the justice system, distinct from the prison population rate elsewhere on this page, which measures the scale of incarceration relative to a country's population rather than how full its facilities are (World Prison Brief, ICPR, via Our World in Data). | 104.3% | 2025 | World Prison Brief (ICPR) via Our World in Data |
9 of 54 figures
Nomor has 9 of the 54 health & education figures for Taiwan. Composed automatically from the sourced figures on this page.
| Figure | Value | Year | World rank | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancyHow many years a newborn would live if today's death rates at every age stayed the same for their whole life. | 80.6 yrs | 2023 | UN WPP / HMD | |
| Healthy diet costWhat the cheapest possible day of healthy eating costs locally, following official dietary guidelines — a nutrition-based cost-of-living measure (FAO / World Bank). | $4.95 | 2021 | FAO / World Bank | |
| Years of schoolingAverage years of formal education completed by people aged 15–64. | 12.8 | 2020 | Barro–Lee | |
| Child mortalityShare of children who die before their fifth birthday, out of all live births — one of the most closely watched child-health indicators (UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation). | 0.5% | 2010 | UN IGME | |
| UndernourishmentShare of the population whose habitual food intake doesn't provide enough dietary energy for an active, healthy life (FAO, UN SDG indicator 2.1.1). | 3.8% | 2023 | FAO (SDG 2.1.1) | |
| Calorie supplyThe daily food supply available per person, in kilocalories — how much food reaches households and markets, not necessarily how much is eaten (some is wasted). A rough companion to the undernourishment share above: supply well above requirement doesn't rule out unequal access within a country (FAO). | 3K | 2023 | FAO via Our World in Data | |
| Meat supplyThe quantity of meat — all types combined — available for consumption per person per year, in kilograms. Like the calorie-supply figure above, this measures what reaches markets and households, not necessarily what gets eaten; some is wasted (FAO Food Balance Sheets). | 91.5 | 2023 | FAO via Our World in Data | |
| PISA maths scoreThe OECD's PISA test measures what 15-year-old students can actually do with mathematics — applying it to unfamiliar, real-world problems rather than reciting curriculum. Scores sit on a scale set so that the OECD average is around 500, and roughly 20 points is about a school year's worth of progress. OWID publishes the result split by sex with no combined figure, so this card shows each group's mean and their average. Only countries that choose to take part appear (~85), and there is no world average — an absent country usually means it does not sit the test, not that it scored badly (OECD PISA via Our World in Data). | 547 | 2022 | OECD PISA via Our World in Data | |
| PISA reading scoreThe reading half of the OECD's PISA test: whether 15-year-olds can locate, understand and evaluate written information, not whether they can decode words. Same scale as the maths score above (OECD average around 500, roughly 20 points to a school year). Published split by sex with no combined figure, so this card shows each group's mean and their average — the reading gap in favour of girls is one of the most consistent findings across every PISA round. Participation-limited coverage (~85 countries, no world average) (OECD PISA via Our World in Data). | 516 | 2022 | OECD PISA via Our World in Data |
6 of 64 figures
Nomor has 6 of the 64 work & money figures for Taiwan. Composed automatically from the sourced figures on this page.
| Figure | Value | Year | World rank | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Work hours per yearTotal hours the average employed person works per year, part-timers included. Long vacations and shorter weeks pull it down. | 2,032 h | 2023 | Penn World Table | |
| Tourist arrivalsOvernight visitors arriving from abroad per year. Each trip counts separately, so one frequent traveller can register several arrivals (UN Tourism). | 7.9M | 2024 | UN Tourism | |
| Income inequalityThe Gini coefficient summarizes income inequality from 0 (everyone earns the same) to 1 (one person earns everything). Most countries land between 0.25 and 0.55. | 0.32 | 2021 | World Bank PIP | |
| Extreme povertyShare of people living on less than $3 a day (2021 PPP) — the World Bank's International Poverty Line for extreme poverty. | 0.1% | 2021 | World Bank PIP | |
| Military spendingAll military spending — personnel, operations, procurement, military R&D — as a share of GDP (SIPRI definition). | 2.1% | 2025 | SIPRI | |
| Median incomeThe income (or consumption) of the person in the exact middle of the distribution, per day, adjusted for price differences between countries (PPP). Unlike GDP per person, the median is not pulled up by a rich minority (World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform). | $46.14 | 2021 | World Bank PIP |

| Figure | Value | Year | World rank | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renewable energyShare of primary energy from hydro, wind, solar, geothermal and other renewables (substitution method). | 6.3% | 2024 | Energy Institute | |
| Nuclear powerShare of a country's electricity generated by nuclear power plants. Many countries show 0% simply because they have never built a nuclear plant, not because production stopped (Ember; Energy Institute). | 1.1% | 2025 | Ember & Energy Institute via Our World in Data | |
| Fossil-fuel electricityShare of a country's electricity generated by burning coal, oil or gas. The complement of the renewable and nuclear shares elsewhere on this page — the three roughly add to 100% (Ember; Energy Institute). | 86.6% | 2025 | Ember & Energy Institute via Our World in Data | |
| Total CO₂ emissionsThe total tonnes of fossil-fuel and industrial CO₂ a country emits in a year. Unlike the per-person figure above, this isn't divided by population, so large, industrialized or populous countries naturally show bigger totals even at a modest per-person footprint (Global Carbon Budget). | 262.3M | 2024 | Global Carbon Budget via Our World in Data | |
| Greenhouse gas emissions per personPer-person emissions of all greenhouse gases — not just CO₂, but methane and nitrous oxide too, plus land-use change — converted to tonnes of CO₂-equivalent. Broader than the CO₂-only figures on this page: countries with large livestock herds or land-clearing can rank differently here than on CO₂ alone (Jones et al., National Contributions to Climate Change, via Our World in Data). | 12.2 | 2024 | Jones et al. (National Contributions to Climate Change) via Our World in Data | |
| Total greenhouse gas emissionsThe total tonnes of all greenhouse gases — not just CO₂ but methane and nitrous oxide too, plus land-use change — a country emits in a year, in CO₂-equivalent terms. The all-gas counterpart to the CO₂-only total above, and not divided by population like the per-person figure elsewhere on this page (Jones et al., National Contributions to Climate Change, via Our World in Data). | 283.5M | 2024 | Jones et al. (National Contributions to Climate Change) via Our World in Data | |
| Solar powerShare of a country's electricity generated by solar power specifically — one technology slice of the broader renewable-electricity share elsewhere on this page, which also includes wind, hydropower, geothermal and biomass. Many countries still show 0% simply because solar capacity hasn't been built yet, not because the sun doesn't shine there (Ember; Energy Institute). | 5.4% | 2025 | Ember & Energy Institute via Our World in Data | |
| Wind powerShare of a country's electricity generated by wind power specifically — another technology slice of the renewable-electricity share elsewhere on this page, typically largest in countries with strong coastal or plains wind resources (Ember; Energy Institute). | 4.2% | 2025 | Ember & Energy Institute via Our World in Data | |
| HydropowerShare of a country's electricity generated by hydropower — historically the largest renewable source worldwide. Unlike solar and wind, which are growing fast almost everywhere, hydro capacity is mostly fixed by geography (rivers, dams built decades ago), so this number moves far more slowly (Ember; Energy Institute). | 1.9% | 2025 | Ember & Energy Institute via Our World in Data |
