This dataset combines several critical indicators:

Economic Indicators: Such as GDP (current US$) and Unemployment Rate (%) Social Indicators: Including Population and Life Expectancy at Birth Country Metadata: Such as region, income level, capital city, longitude, and latitude Each record represents a country-year entry, allowing for analysis over time and across different regions and economic groups.

As of November 2021, the U.S. goverment dedicated ***** percent of the GDP to soften the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. This translates to stimulus packages worth **** trillion U.S. dollars Economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt throughout the whole world. Lockdowns forced many industries to close completely for many months and restrictions were put on almost all economic activity. In 2020, the worldwide GDP loss due to Covid was *** percent. The global unemployment rate rocketed to **** percent in 2020 and confidence in governments’ ability to deal with the crisis diminished significantly. Governmental response In order to stimulate the economies and bring them out of recession, many countries have decided to release so called stimulus packages. These are fiscal and monetary policies used to support the recovery process. Through application of lower taxes and interest rates, direct financial aid, or facilitated access to funding, the governments aim to boost the employment, investment, and demand. Stimulus packages Until November 2021, Japan has dedicated the largest share of the GDP to stimulus packages among the G20 countries, with ***** percent (*** trillion Yen or **** trillion U.S. dollars). While the first help package aimed at maintaining employment and securing businesses, the second and third ones focused more on structural changes and positive developments in the country in the post-pandemic future.

Over the next decade, of the four main use cases that ** will enable - i.e., enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), fixed wireless access (FWA), ultra-reliable, low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive Internet of Things (MIoT) - eMBB and FWA are expected to account for nearly ** percent of the total **-associated economic benefits. The benefits from MIoT and URLLC were projected to begin at a later stage, with the sectors benefitting the most from ** being manufacturing, public administration, and services such as healthcare and education.

Italy's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounted to 2.2 trillion euros in 2024. The Italian economy grew at low rates between 2010 and 2019 and significantly shrank in 2020 following the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. However, since 2021, GDP has recorded a steady uprise, with remarkably higher growth rates compared to the pre-pandemic period. A difficult outlook for the Italian economy Besides the positive performance recorded right after the COVID-19 pandemic, projections indicate a different outlook. The slow growth of the Italian economy, less than one percent each year from 2025 to 2029, is believed to remove Italy from the giants of the global players. Indeed, by 2028, the ranking of the world's largest economies might appear quite different from the present one. In addition to slow growth, Italy's economy is characterized by large internal disparities. After 160 years of national unity, the country is still very divided, as data on unemployment, GDP, and poverty confirm. National debt: Italy's most difficult challenge Italy still ranks among the top 20 largest economies in the world. However, the large amount of the national debt risks hampering future growth. In 2024, it reached 135 percent of the GDP, equivalent to 3.2 trillion U.S. dollars, and forecasts expect figures to increase over the coming years. By 2029, the debt-to-GDP ratio may hit 137 percent. A large amount of national debt significantly limits the government's possibility to earmark resources for public investments. In fact, a considerable share of the state budget is devoted to reimbursing the debt.

The gross domestic product of the United Kingdom in 2024 was around 2.78 trillion British pounds, an increase when compared to the previous year, when UK GDP amounted to about 2.75 trillion pounds. The significant drop in GDP visible in 2020 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the smaller declines in 2008 and 2009 because of the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Low growth problem in the UK Despite growing by 0.9 percent in 2024, and 0.4 percent in 2023 the UK economy is not that much larger than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. Since recovering from a huge fall in GDP in the second quarter of 2020, the UK economy has alternated between periods of contraction and low growth, with the UK even in a recession at the end of 2023. While economic growth picked up somewhat in 2024, GDP per capita is lower than it was in 2022, following two years of negative growth. UK's global share of GDP falling As of 2024, the UK had the sixth-largest economy in the world, behind the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and India. Among European nations, this meant that the UK currently has the second-largest economy in Europe, although the economy of France, Europe's third-largest economy, is of a similar size. The UK's global economic ranking will likely fall in the coming years, however, with the UK's share of global GDP expected to fall from 2.16 percent in 2025 to 2.02 percent by 2029.
