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. 2012-04-27T07:41:49Z 2012-04-27T07:41:49Z 2012 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2012/04/16234131/world-development-indicators-2012 978-0-8213-8985-0 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/6014 English World Development Indicators CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication
