Arab unrest index: The Shoe Thrower's index | The Economist

Arab unrest index: The Shoe Thrower's index | The Economist: "Shoe Thrower's index aims to predict where the scent of jasmine may spread next.
The chart in the attached link is the result of ascribing a weighting of 35% for the share of the population that is under 25; 15% for the number of years the government has been in power; 15% for both corruption and lack of democracy as measured by existing indices; 10% for GDP per person; 5% for an index of censorship and 5% for the absolute number of people younger than 25."
