The World Bank’s ASPIRE online tool is the most up-to-date compilation of global social protection and labor (SPL) estimates, including data from 56 countries—mostly in the developing world—from 2005-2010. ASPIRE provides open and accessible household-level data on populations’ social and economic status; assessments of SPL programs, including weaknesses such as low coverage and poor targeting; SPL program impacts on poverty and inequality; and ways to improve household data collection for SPL programs. Data from additional countries—especially those in Africa and the Middle East—will be added later in 2012, and the database will be updated twice a year.
