WIDER : Database (WIID)

The UNU-WIDER World Income Inequality Database (WIID) collects and stores information on income inequality for developed, developing, and transition countries. The database and its documentation are available on this website. WIID2 consists of a checked and corrected WIID1, a new update of the Deininger & Squire database from the World Bank, new estimates from the Luxembourg Income Study and Transmonee, and other new sources as they have became available. WIID2a contains fewer points of data than WIID1 as some overlaps between the old Deininger & Squire data and estimates included by WIDER have been eliminated along with some low quality estimates adding no information. http://www.wider.unu.edu/research/Database/en_GB/database/

This database contains occupational wage data for 161 occupations in 171 countries from 1983 to 200 8.

The normalized wages refer to average hourly or monthly wage rates for adult workers. You will need a major database, statistical program, or programming language to use these files. This dataset is too large to load completely into MS Excel 2000, which has a maximum of 65,536 observations, though Access can be used to read the ASCII datafile .

The biennial Gender Chart depicts the situation of women and girls in developing regions as reflected in a number of indicators, some of which are also used to monitor the MDGs. It shows that although there has been some progress in a number of the gender dimensions, more needs to be done, in every country and at every level, to achieve the pivotal third MDG and to reduce persisting levels of inequality based on sex, wealth, location, ethnicity and other markers of disadvantage. It is being co-produced by the UN Statistics Division and UN Women , with inputs from members of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDGs Indicators.
