In 2019, Germany was second only to China as the world's largest surplus economy, with its exported products exceeding its imported products. The country's economy fell apart with the 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union.

In developed countries, acquiring a house has become challenging due to the high mortgage prices and the interest rates charged by the real estate agencies. Similarly, GDP per capita figures for some benchmark countries before 1820 were interpolated using estimates for year 1700 from Maddison (2010). Hence, nine auxiliary indicators covering demography, economics and politics were collected for 2017 (the latest year available) and years 18002100 for benchmark countries (see Appendix 2). Some have no definite direction in which an indicator changes with progress (e.g. This positive effect on the developing world was, however, countered by low-income (mostly African) countries, which diverged from benchmark countries without interruption during the whole century.

The median value and uncertainty bounds (e.g. Therefore, Eq. Switzerland has a universal healthcare system while also preserving a private marketplace. An uncertainty difficult to account for is the quality of underlying statistics. The developing world is currently behind almost 60years in life expectancy and infant survival rate, with most progress made in female life expectancy (Fig. For example, in 2010, the USA alone spent about US $2.5 trillion (17 % of its GDP) on. Countries of the region which do not rely on oil also made significant progress, with Israel and Cyprus projected to reduce their indicator-averaged time lags below zero in 2019 and 2020, respectively. It is also the only subregion that has, mostly in recent years, converged with the benchmark countries in passenger car usage.

A developing country is a state, which is characterized by low levels of industrial activities and low Human Development Index as compared to other countries around the world. The lack of economic catch-up of the developing world in recent decades despite very high growth in the most populous countries (China and India) can be explained by the fact that the current lag of 65years to an average benchmark country corresponds to a time when the developed world was experiencing exceptionally high growth after the Second World War.

The results of the comparison between present-day developing countries split by SDG regions and the average for benchmark countries at the time when they were at equal level of economic development, is presented in Fig. The region has reduced its time lag in life expectancy to benchmark countries by a third until the AIDS epidemic reversed the trend around 1990, with the time lag in Southern Africa reaching highest ever value in the 2000s.

Sweden is one of the most highly developed post-industrial societies in the world. After briefly discussing the possible explanations of the results in Sect. On the positive side, the government debt in the least developed group is more than a third lower than it used to be in the benchmark countries; it is also more democratic. . The time lags method cant help with the imprecision of the SDGs, as only 35 out of 169 goals are quantifiable and measurable on a country level (McArthur and Rasmussen 2019).

The experiences of developing countries in the 1980s and 1990s suggest that there is a roughly equal chance of growth being accompanied by increasing or decreasing inequality.7 In many developing countries, rates of inequality are similar to or lower than in developed countries.
