Global Ease of Living Index: a machine learning framework for longitudinal analysis of major economies

Researchers have developed a machine learning framework called the Global Ease of Living Index that combines socio-economic and infrastructure indicators to measure quality of life across major economies since 1970. Using dimensionality reduction techniques and algorithms to handle missing data, the index provides policymakers with a transparent tool to identify areas requiring intervention such as healthcare, employment, and public safety.
