World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives
This World Bank report explores the potential of the changing data landscape to improve the lives of poor people, while acknowledging its potential to harm individuals, businesses, and societies. It assesses how better use and reuse of data can enhance the design of public policies and programmes, and the delivery of services; and improve market efficiency and job creation through private sector growth. It outlines an aspirational vision of an integrated national data system that would meet the promise of producing high-quality data, made accessible in a way that promotes their safe use and reuse. By examining these opportunities and challenges, it shows how data can benefit the lives of all people, but particularly poor people in low- and middle-income countries while protecting against harmful outcomes.
