World Development Indicators 2012 is a
compilation of relevant, high-quality, and internationally
comparable statistics about development and the quality of
people's lives. Organized around six themes, world
view, people, the environment, the economy, states and
markets, and global links, it aims to put data into the
hands of policy makers, development specialists, students,
and the public. The full dataset used to produce World
Development Indicators contains more than 1,000 indicators
for 216 economies, with many time series extending back to
1960. And, as a major part of the World Bank's open
data initiative, the data are freely available for use and
reuse under an open license. A companion printed volume, the
little data book 2012, presents a selection of indicators
for each economy, and the biennial statistics for small
states presents data for less-populated developing
countries. Any assessment of the Millennium Development
Goals must acknowledge that amid all the signs of progress,
there are gaps. Some targets will not be reached in this
decade or the next. Likewise the statistical record is still
incomplete; Continuing progress will require renewed
commitment and careful monitoring. |
