Personal Wealth from a Global Perspective
The UNUWorld Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER)
was established by the United Nations University as its first research and train-
ing centre and started work in Helsinki, Finland, in 1985. The purpose of the
institute is to undertake applied research and policy analysis on structural
changes affecting developing and transitional economies, to provide a forum
for the advocacy of policies leading to robust, equitable, and environmentally
sustainable growth, and to promote capacity strengthening and training in
the field of economic and social policymaking. Its work is carried out by staff
researchers and visiting scholars in Helsinki and via networks of collaborating
scholars and institutions around the world.
