International Measures of Development

The International Measures of Development dataset provides a snapshot into the economic, demographic, and investment profiles of 70 countries from across the globe over the last 50 years. The included countries provide representation of all major geographic regions, while being diverse in their financial and social characteristics. The dataset contains a total of four tables, each representing a separate entity inherent to a country’s overall image. By placing all of these tables in one dataset, different aspects from various categories can be compared for different countries.

The first of which is the country table, which serves as the primary reference for the three other tables. Each record within this table represents one of the 70 countries which comprise the dataset. The attributes associated with this table include country ID, country name, continent, current population, and land area. The respective datatypes are of type VARCHAR and INT.

Secondly, the demographic table contains key quality of life indicators relevant to countries on an international scale. Each record in this table represents a given year for a given country, for a total of 3500 records. It contains the following 12 columns: demographic ID, country ID, year, life expectancy, population, birth rate, death rate, median age, percent married, sex ratio, child dependency, and old age dependency. Datatypes for this table are of type INT and DECIMAL.

Next, the economic table contains variables which represent the country’s financial and workforce profile. Like the demographic table, each record in this table represents a given year for a given country for a total of 3500 records. It contains the following 8 columns: economic ID, country ID, year, GDP, GDP per capita, inflation, unemployment rate, and GNI. Datatypes for this table are of type INT and DECIMAL.

Lastly, the investment table captures a country’s investing landscape. It features the same structure as the other two tables. The 12 contained columns include investment ID, country ID, year, inflow FDI, outflow FDI, investments in energy, ICT, transportation, and water, non-financial asset investment, portfolio investment, and net financial account. Datatypes for this table are of type INT and DECIMAL.

国际发展测度数据集（International Measures of Development）对全球70个国家在过去50年间的经济、人口与投资概况进行了快照式呈现。入选国家覆盖所有主要地理区域，且在金融与社会特征方面呈现出丰富多样性。该数据集共包含四张数据表，每张表对应一国整体形象中一个独立的固有维度。将所有数据表整合至同一数据集后，可针对不同国家开展多类别维度的对比分析。

首张为国家表，作为其余三张表的核心参照依据。该表中每条记录对应数据集所涵盖的70个国家之一，其包含的字段有：国家编号（country ID）、国家名称、所属大洲、当前人口与国土面积，对应的数据类型为可变长字符型（VARCHAR）与整型（INT）。

其次为人口数据表，收录了适用于国际层面的核心生活质量指标。该表每条记录对应单个国家的某一特定年份，总计3500条记录，包含12个字段：人口编号（demographic ID）、国家编号（country ID）、年份、预期寿命、总人口、出生率、死亡率、中位年龄、已婚人口占比、性别比、儿童抚养比与老年抚养比，对应的数据类型为INT与十进制数值型（DECIMAL）。

接下来是经济数据表，收录反映国家金融与劳动力概况的变量。与人口数据表一致，该表每条记录对应单个国家的某一特定年份，总计3500条记录，包含8个字段：经济编号（economic ID）、国家编号（country ID）、年份、国内生产总值（GDP）、人均国内生产总值、通货膨胀率、失业率与国民总收入（GNI），对应的数据类型为INT与DECIMAL。

最后为投资数据表，用于刻画一国的投资格局，其结构与前述两张数据表完全一致。该表包含12个字段：投资编号（investment ID）、国家编号（country ID）、年份、外国直接投资（FDI）流入额、外国直接投资（FDI）流出额、能源、信息与通信技术（ICT）、交通与水利领域投资额、非金融资产投资、证券投资以及金融账户净差额，对应的数据类型为INT与DECIMAL。
