Global Development Indicators by Country (1970–2023)

About this data

Comprehensive panel dataset of 14 key development indicators for 217 countries spanning 1970–2023 (11,718 rows). Sourced from the World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI), this dataset covers macroeconomics (GDP, GDP per capita, inflation, unemployment, trade, FDI), demographics (population, population growth, life expectancy), public spending (education and health expenditure as % of GDP), infrastructure (electricity consumption, internet adoption), and land use (arable land %). Each row represents a single country-year observation with ISO country codes, region, and World Bank income group classification. Ideal for cross-country panel regressions, development trend analysis, machine learning benchmarks, and policy research.
