Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Estonia. 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 (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Solutions for Perfect Estonia

  • The Solution for EstoniaLivelihood

    Let local banks lend to the enterprises that hire.

    • 01The challenge22.5% Of Estonians live below the national poverty line. World Bank, 2022
    • 02The dealSmall-business credit guarantee, proved in Barbados, 2025: $50M up to 80% of each loan. Inter-American Development Bank, July 2025
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where livelihoods are furthest from reach should set up a facility that guarantees most of each small-business loan, so that local banks lend to the firms they would otherwise turn away. With super intelligence, lenders can assess firms that have no credit history, and every job each loan creates can be counted.
