62 out of 65 countries have data protection laws
However, in many cases, the apparent commitment to protect personal data is illusory. Investment in mobile internet is the key ingredient ensuring the sustainable improvement
in the long run, especially in developing economies. Well-developed internet infrastructure ≠ high DQL as a composition of less tangible factors (cybersecurity, personal data protection, etc.) is essential as well. Digital quality of life correlates with the country’s GDP/capita. An increase of 0.0300 in the DQL score can potentially add up to $10 thousand to a country’s GDP/capita. Plenty of room for
value of the 2019 DQL index is 0.6110/1.000, which reveals that the
life is mediocre. No country scored over 0.8000, indicating drawbacks in various areas.
