The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 : Building a Sustainable Future

The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 is the latest report on comprehensive wealth by the World Bank. It provides a time series from 1995 to 2014 for 140 countries, covering produced capital, 19 types of natural capital, net foreign assets, and, for the first time, an explicit measure of human capital, based on the well-known Jorgenson-Fraumeni lifetime earnings approach. Trends in wealth and sustainable development are assessed, and wealth accounts are used to address a range of important development topics such as economic diversification of resource-rich economies, and the gains in national wealth that could be achieved by universal primary education.
