  1. Estimates from a rank-ordered logistic regression model. Predicted rank is shown in bold, and regression coefficient is displayed directly below. Descriptors for the 13 government programmes: (1) addressing climate change; (2) increasing employment; (3) getting COVID-19 under control; (4) decreasing poverty; (5) decreasing political corruption; (6) decreasing crime; (7) improving access to food supplies; (8) improving healthcare services; (9) improving public transport; (10) improving access to credit; (11) improving education; (12) improving access to water and sanitation; (13) improving access to electricity. Increasing employment is normalized to ‘0’ as the base reference programme. ***, ** and * indicate statistical significance levels at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively, for a two-sided test against a zero-null hypothesis. Sample size is n = 1,200 per country. Coefficients are comparable within columns but not across rows.
