One of the instances of using the portal and helping in informed decision making: -

Compare countries across multiple indicators

The portal's comparison feature allows you to select countries and indicators for side-by-side
analyses, helping policymakers spot trends and disparities that need attention. This tool is especially
valuable for evidence-based policymaking or making the case for new investments. For example,
one can track how countries with similar income levels perform on human capital outcomes or
explore correlations between different indicators, such as the relationship between the Human
Capital Index (HCI) and informal employment. These insights can inform targeted strategies to close
development gaps.

Thus, the Human Capital Data Portal goes beyond data access—it’s a catalyst for evidence-based
policies and targeted investments in human capital. The new portal illustrates the World Bank
Group’s long-term commitment to supporting informed human capital investments locally and
globally, building healthier, more resilient, and prosperous societies.
