Reported Social Unrest Index: September 2024 Update

Philip Barrett

No 2024/225, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This is the third update of the reported Social Unrest Index (Barrett et al. 2022), describing the evolution of social unrest worldwide since June 2023. It shows that the global incidence of unrest has stayed broadly stable in the last year. However, the global distribution has not been even, with a concentration of major events in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa and, to a lesser extent, in the Western Hemisphere.
