___ World Recources 2008 - Comparative Table of Population and Human Well-Being

World Resources 2008 includes a compilation of country-level data culled from a variety of sources.*

This table presents some of the data required to build a basic picture of the state of the Earth in its human, economic, and environmental dimensions.

The sortable table contains seven core indicators on population, health, education, and poverty. Three of these indicators—poverty rates, infant mortality, and HIV/AIDS prevalence—are measured under the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to track global progress toward eradicating poverty and improving human well-being.

Two other indicators—life expectancy and literacy rates—are elements of UN's Human Development Index (HDI), which measures achievement of development goals related to quality of life. In addition, this table displays the Gini Index, a single number that captures the level of income inequal- ity within a country. Recent international attention to the issue of global poverty through the MDGs and the HDI has lead to a substantial improvement in the quality of these indicators in the past decade.
