Canada named among top countries with social purpose

A study by U.S. News & World Report has ranked Canada third on a list of the top countries with social purpose, seen as being “the most progressive and inclusive” countries in the world.

Denmark and Sweden occupy the top two spots on the list, while Norway and New Zealand round out the top 5.

“A country’s citizens can rally around certain causes they feel strongly about: human rights, the environment and religious freedom, to name a few. Support for these causes can create a sense of cultural cohesion within countries, and help their people identify as having a shared sense of purpose. These countries are seen as being the most progressive, inclusive and committed to social justice.”

The United States did not rank in the top 10.
