Â鶹´«Ã½AV has been collecting self-reported household income data since 2006 from hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Using these data, Â鶹´«Ã½AV's researchers have created new, useful measures that are comparable from country to country and supplement existing global income metrics. These data provide a previously unavailable worldwide benchmark for investigating cross-country relationships between self-reported income levels and a broad range of other well-being indicators.
Complete income data for all countries are now available through , a new subscription-based Web portal that allows users to analyze U.S. and global survey data on issues such as government and business, health and well-being, infrastructure, and education.
We will be releasing a series of articles starting Dec. 16 on Â鶹´«Ã½AV.com that provide valuable insights using our new household income metrics:
- The first article will discuss two of the most straightforward, but tremendously useful indicators: household income and per-capita income across countries worldwide.
- The second article will discuss the incidence of global poverty at the country and regional level based on Â鶹´«Ã½AV's income estimates.
- The third article will examine income inequality -- both within and among countries -- and show how Â鶹´«Ã½AV's data relates to other well-being indicators.
