The World Bank's Human Capital Data Portal
The The World Bank has just launched its new Human Capital Data Portal. It provides global, regional, and economy-level data on key dimensions of human capital, including education, health, social protection, and labor.
Taken from the blog, five prominent features of the portal are: First, it enables us to explore interactive visualizations across human capital indicators. Second, it provides access data for every stage of life. The portal includes disaggregated data covering various life stages, such as prenatal health, school enrollment, youth employment, and adult skills. Third, it compares countries across multiple indicators. The portal's comparison feature allows researchers to select countries and indicators for side-by-side analyses, helping policymakers spot trends and disparities that need attention.

Fourth, it explores the latest insights and knowledge on human capital. The portal goes beyond data by connecting users to the latest reports, blogs, and research on human capital through its Insights section in which this feature keeps policymakers and researchers informed with up-to-date findings, stories of impact, and emerging trends from across the world, making it easy to stay on top of the most relevant knowledge. Fifth, it allow researchers to stay updated with regular data updates. The portal keeps pace by regularly updating its data from trusted sources like UNESCO, UNICEF, the International Labor Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization and the World Bank.
