World in Transition
summary
An interactive Better Life Index maps 11 well‑being dimensions (health, education, work‑life balance, life satisfaction) across 36 countries and records 3.2 million visits in two years, proving public uptake; OECD commits to 100% machine‑readable open data next year. Panelists push concrete bets: precision agriculture, microbiome diagnostics and software‑rich products (BMW ~40% software value). Hard claim: useful anonymization cannot anonymize data reliably, so policy must protect people not just datasets; unemployment rises 35M→48M (+13M).
