About
This collection provides 34 vital economic, social, and governmental indicators sourced directly from the World Bank. The data was specifically compiled to serve as foundational evidence for research and publications focusing on sustainable digital transformation, business impacts, and strategies for social change. Indicators were chosen based on criteria ensuring they are non-partisan, routinely updated, and useful for establishing actionable policy agendas. This dataset allows for detailed cross-country analysis of development trends spanning the first two decades of the 21st century.
Columns
The data is unified into a single file containing codes and values for the selected indicators, along with two key dimensions:
- Country Code: The unique three-letter World Bank code identifying the country or economic entity (266 unique values).
- Country Name: The full name corresponding to the country code.
- 34 Indicator Columns: These columns represent the actual data values for specific metrics, identified by World Bank keycodes (e.g., SI.POV.GINI for the GINI index; NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG for GDP growth). These indicators cover areas such as market capitalisation, energy imports, R&D expenditure, various indices related to business regulation and credit, mobile and broadband subscriptions, poverty ratios, and labour force participation rates differentiated by gender.
Distribution
The selected indicators, originally downloaded as 34 separate files, have been unified into a single CSV file for ease of use. The structure includes dimension information (Country Code and Name) and the corresponding yearly values for each of the 34 indicators. The data covers 266 unique country entities. Specific total record counts are not available; however, the data structure focuses on country-year observations across the selected timeframe.
