Where the data comes from

World Bank (World Development Indicators, Worldwide Governance Indicators), ILO modelled estimates, FAO (FAOSTAT), UNDP (Human Development Report), UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database, Ember (electricity), the Global Carbon Project (CO₂) and the UN World Population Prospects and World Urbanization Prospects, under CC BY 4.0 and CC BY 3.0 IGO. Many World Bank series come from other organisations (ILO, IMF, WHO); each indicator page names the original source. Sources and licences.

Ranks are computed in the latest year for which at least half of the countries have a value. Where less is better (unemployment, emissions), the lowest value ranks first. The continent figure is the median of its countries.
