This study investigates income and nonincome development gaps that remain around the world. Closing these gaps requires policies that not only increase and sustain economic growth, but also directly close the nonincome development gaps. The authors analyze the extent to which human capital, infrastructure, financial sector development, governance and institutions, health and education, social protection, and external trade and finance play a role in closing these gaps.
