This map carves the world into seven coloured blocks, each one containing roughly a billion people. Because humanity is spread so unevenly, the blocks end up wildly different in size. The entire Western Hemisphere, every country from Canada down to Chile, holds only about a billion people between them, roughly a single block's worth. India, by contrast, comes close to filling a block on its own, and China and its neighbours form another, while the crowded belt running from the Middle East through South Asia packs more people into a small space than sprawling regions manage across whole continents. It is a vivid reminder that the amount of room a place occupies on a map has very little to do with the number of people who live there.

Even as they get older, younger generations across countries continue to have lower homeownership rates than older generations.

This is due to rising house prices, particularly in large cities, which are making it increasingly difficult for younger and lower-wealth households to enter the housing market.

As owning a home has traditionally been a key pathway to building wealth, the decline in homeownership trend also risks widening wealth gaps over generations.

OECD analysis explores recent trends in household wealth, highlights significant wealth gaps across different population groups. It also shows how better individual-level data collection could improve measurement and better inform efforts to address wealth inequality.
