Democratic and autocratic countries are determined by democracy index which is introduced by
Economist Intelligence Unit and has been calculated since 2006 for 167 countries covering almost the
entire population of the world. The Democracy index is based on five factors: Electoral process and
pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture.
These 167 countries are divided into one of four categories: Full democracy; flawed democracy;
hybrid regime; and authoritarian regime or autocracy. This chapter deals with comparative study
between full democratic and autocratic countries based on different social indicators such as literacy
rate, unemployment rate, per capita GDP, birth rate, death rate, fertility rate, divorce rate, murder rate
etc. It is observed that per capita GDP and literacy rate of full democratic countries are significantly
higher than that of autocratic countries. Unemployment rate, murder rate, fertility rate crude birth rate
and divorce rate of full democratic countries are significantly lower than that of autocratic countries.
No significant difference was observed for crude death rate between democratic and autocratic
countries.
