The idea of creating and publishing an index with country rankings is a strategy adopted by many organizations and social movements to raise awareness about issues such as corruption, governance, freedom, gender equality, competitiveness, productive knowhow, and the investment climate, among others. The main problem with these indices is not so much how they are calculated as how they are used.
构造并发布国家排名指数是许多组织和社会运动采取的策略，这样可以提高人们对问题的认识，比如腐败、治理、自由、 性别平等、竞争力、生产技术和投资环境等。这些指数的主要问题主要在于如何使用，而不在于如何计算。
