World distribution of wealth, GDP, and population by region in the year 2000
World distribution of wealth is the distribution of how wealth is distributed around the world. The guideline for categorizing the data is to organize it based on the continent on which the people with wealth reside.
Data organization[]
Sometimes the data is organized by household wealth. It is useful to do it this way because sometimes the holders of wealth take care of other people who have no wealth, such as children or other family members.
World distribution of wealth (2016)[]
Data for the following tables is obtained from The UN-WIDER World Distribution of Household Wealth Report.[1]
