| Summary: | This year the World Development Indicators database
has been improved to include more indicators
that cover the Sustainable Development Goals and
more data disaggregated by sex, age, wealth quintile,
and urban or rural location. New data include access
to clean cooking fuels and the number of industrial
design applications registered globally.
This edition reflects two major structural changes
to World Development Indicators:
• Poverty and shared prosperity, previously part of
World view, is now a standalone section. Global
highlights presented in World view encompass data
from all six thematic sections.
• Data on the Sustainable Development Goals are
now presented in a new companion publication,
Atlas of Sustainable Development Goals 2017, which
analyzes and visualizes World Development Indicators
data to explore progress toward the goals for
2030 and catalyzes discussion of measurement
issues and data needs. |
