The results of the data estimation in the studied years showed that in the model of GDP, social progress index, economic freedom and government consumption expenditure have an increasing and significant effect on the GDP per capita of the studied countries. In the model related to the social progress index, the global innovation index, education index and GDP per capita have a positive and significant effect on the social progress index.
The results obtained from both models show the existence of a positive and significant relationship between the social progress index and GDP per capita, which confirms the existence of a complementary relationship between these two variables.
