03Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Cabo Verde in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Cabo Verde
To be set with Cabo Verde, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Cabo Verde, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Cabo Verde. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
The Solution for Cabo VerdeLivelihood
You are ten islands with no oil and no gold, and your debt has fallen as a share of your economy every year since the pandemic.
Your visitors and your diaspora already invest in you. Let the next decade price the sun, the wind and the sea as the assets they are.
“Islands without oil can still be rich in sun, wind and sea. Count them, and let them pay.”
