World Development Indicators 2016
About this book
World Development Indicators 2016 provides a compilation of relevant, high-quality, and internationally comparable statistics about global development and the fight against poverty. It is intended to help policymakers, students, analysts, professors, program managers, and citizens find and use data related to all aspects of development, including those that help monitor progress toward the World Bank Group's two goals of ending poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Six themes are used to organize indicatorsâworld view, people, environment, economy, states and markets, and global links. WDI 2016 includes: â˘A selection of the most popular indicators across 214 economies and 14 country groups organized into six WDI themes. â˘A new section on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has replaced the one on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). â˘The SDG section covers all 17 goals, and important targets to achieve these goals. Each goal has been presented in a maximum 2-page spread with selected indicators to explain the targets. â˘Each of the remaining sections includes an introduction, a map, a table of the most relevant and popular indicators for that theme together with a discussion of indicator compilation methodology. â˘A user guide describing resources available online and on mobile apps.
