To investigate the most privileged people in the world, a study has been conducted. It includes all 37 member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as well as Argentina, Bulgaria, Brazil, India, Russia, Singapore and South Africa.
This research focuses on whether a country provides the most necessary things like, career opportunities, better health, freedom, gender equality and other benefits to its citizens. The recent survey conducted by ABCD Agency aimed to find the most privileged people in the world. It used data collected from the United Nations International Labour Organization, Barro-Lee data on education, the OECD, the World Bank’s GINI index, and the World Economic Forum’s Global Social Mobility Index.
