Extreme population disparities make this hard to have a real talk about.
Denmark has 5-6M people in total, Sweden has 10M people? United States has over 300M people in it.

Why do you think that makes s big difference?
Would you feel better if this were broken down State by State ?

You trolling or being serious? States is irrelevant, it’s the same country and government.
You don’t see how it’s harder for governments to design social mobility programs for a 300M person country compared to 5M?
Not really...China and India is 4x our population...
If population was as much of a factor as you think it is they wouldn't even be within striking distance
Sorry to say this bud but china and India are by far some of the worst ran countries I have ever seen. China has literally let millions upon millions of people die just last century fukking up their economy and doing jack shyt about that awful famine. And India, has a widespread raping problem because they didn’t do jack shyt about their socioeconomics (wherein both countries are having a conflict of men needing to be ultimate providers to women, yet making it out of poverty is incredibly hard, while there are also more men than women). So all in all, it gets progressively harder to manage a country the bigger it gets but I’ll add an extra bit, the slightest bit of corruption will do even more damage to a 300m population than a 5m population just due to the global influence of the former.

You throw out this point so casually like it’s proving a point, as if India and China aren’t at the damn near bottom of that same graph you posted
The bottom of this graph isn't the bottom of the world.You throw out this point so casually like it’s proving a point, as if India and China aren’t at the damn near bottom of that same graph you posted
It just shows you that the correlation between population size and positioning is flawed.

The bottom of the graph represents the most generations it takes…. Hence, China and India have some of the worst social mobility ecosystem in the world……. It’s almost as if….. building effective social mobility programs is harder to do with 1 Billion people than it is 10 Million people
No it doesn't represent that. This is a small sample. Then entire report has 82 countries in it and is provided in the OP.
Population isn't the factor that you think it is.
