Population Trends Behind the Economy

Population is the denominator behind nearly every headline number. This site serves World Bank data for indicators like total population, GDP and GDP per capita, and the pairing is revealing.

Small Versus Giant

Output divided by people explains why Luxembourg ranks high per person while giants like China and India land far lower despite massive totals. The NY.GDP.PCAP.CD series makes the comparison direct.

Layer the Indicators

Add life expectancy, now past 71 years worldwide, the Gini index for inequality, literacy rates and infant mortality per 1,000 births, and country profiles turn into stories. Switch any indicator between countries and years to see demographic shifts move the economic picture.
