Indicator Definition
Assessment of risks, including war, kidnapping, crime, social unrest, and natural disasters.
Coding Methodology
Control Risk conducts an annual risk assessment of each country in the world and publishes the results online via an open-access map. The map includes a travel risk rating for each country with five categories:
- Insignificant travel risk
- Low travel risk
- Medium travel risk
- High travel risk
- Extreme travel risk
We converted the categories to a five-point Likert scale as follows:
|
Control Risk Ratings |

Insignificant personal travel risk |

Low personal travel risk |
2 |

Medium personal travel risk |
3 |
|
High personal travel risk |

Extreme personal travel risk |

In cases where countries have more than one rating, we used the rating for that country's business capital.
