Inclusive Wealth Index
Percentage change in wealth (1990-2010)
The inclusive wealth index measures the wealth of nations by carrying out a comprehensive analysis of a country’s productive base. It therefore measures all of the assets from which human well-being is derived, including manufactured, human and natural capital. The table below shows the percentage changes in human, natural and produced capital and in GDP over time.
