The mission of the World Bank Group is to assist countries to overcome poverty and establish a sustainable path for their development. Providing reliable information about the state of the world and its people is an important part of that mission. Recognizing the formidable challenges and great successes that have been achieved should strengthen our resolve to work together to fight poverty and increase human welfare. To that end the World Bank has published an atlas for over 40 years. This edition of the Atlas of Global Development draws on a global database compiled from the work of the World Bank, other international agencies, and national statistical offices of member countries.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SERVICESADEQUATE EDUCATIONADULT LITERACYAGINGAGING POPULATIONSAGRICULTURAL SECTORANTENATAL CAREBASIC SANITATIONBASIC SOCIAL SERVICESBIODIVERSITYBULLETINCANCERCARE FOR CHILDRENCHILD LABORCHILD LABOURCHILD MORTALITYCHILD SURVIVALCHILDBIRTHCLEAN WATERCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMPLICATIONSCONFLICTDEATHS OF CHILDRENDEMOGRAPHIC CHANGEDEMOGRAPHIC DIVERSITYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIABETESDISABILITYDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDRINKING WATERDRUGSEARTH SUMMITECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATION SYSTEMSELDERLYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPOWERING WOMENENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEPIDEMICEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY MEMBERSFEMALE LIFE EXPECTANCYFEMALE LITERACYFERTILITYFERTILITY RATEFERTILITY RATESFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFORMAL EDUCATIONFUTURE POPULATIONGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER GAPGENDER GAPSGENDER PARITYGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBAL PARTNERSHIPGLOBAL POVERTYGOOD GOVERNANCEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH OF MOTHERSHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH WORKERSHIGH INEQUALITYHIVHIV INFECTIONSHOUSEHOLD CHORESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN WELFAREILL HEALTHIMMIGRATIONIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATIONSINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GAPINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINFANTINFANT DEATHSINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINJURIESINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINELABOR MARKETLACK OF EDUCATIONLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEADING CAUSESLEADING CAUSES OF DEATHLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSLIVING STANDARDSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOW-INCOME COUNTRYMAJORITY OF CHILDRENMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL DEATHSMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITY RATESMEASLESMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DECLARATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORTALITY RATEMOTHERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNOURISHMENTNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF MIGRANTSNUMBER OF PEOPLENUTRITIONOBSTETRIC SERVICESOFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEPANDEMICPOORPOOR EDUCATIONPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HEALTHPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION FUNDPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION INFORMATIONPOPULATION INFORMATION NETWORKPOPULATION REFERENCE BUREAUPOPULATION SIZEPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION IMPACTPOVERTY TARGETPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRENATAL CAREPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROGRESSPROMOTING GENDER EQUALITYPUBLIC SERVICESPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY OF LIFERADIATIONRATE OF GROWTHREDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITYREGIONAL GROUPINGSREMITTANCESREMITTANCES FROM MIGRANTSREMOTE AREASREPEATERSREPLACEMENT LEVELREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE ROLESRIGHTS OF CHILDRENRULE OF LAWRURALRURAL AREASRURAL RESIDENCESAFE WATERSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL YEARSCHOOL-AGE CHILDRENSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSKILLED ATTENDANTSOCIAL INSTITUTIONSSUBSISTENCESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSPORTATIONTROPICAL REGIONSTUBERCULOSISUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN DWELLERSURBAN SLUMSURBANIZATIONVIRGINWATER USEWOMANWORK FORCEWORKPLACEWORLD COMMUNITYWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWORLD POPULATIONYOUNG PEOPLEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8583-8
