Abstract
The October 2022 update introduces
the 10th edition of the Global Database of Shared Prosperity
(GDSP). Shared prosperity, defined as the growth in per
capita household income or consumption of the poorest 40
percent of the population, is the World Bank’s second Twin
Goal, alongside ending extreme poverty. The new edition of
the GDSP revises the figures released in April 2022 to the
2017 PPPs and includes estimates for India. Indicator
coverage is also revised to include 81 of the world’s
economies in 2019. This technical note describes the GDSP,
documents the available data in this edition, and highlights
the main differences with the 9th edition.
