The Universal Statistical Model (u-s-m.org) is an online database of over 2.6 million discrete and valid data values for 226 nations by 36 key indicators by over 600 unique metrics (e.g. employment, age by sex, import commodity value) from 2005 to 2025. Some unique indexes such as GDP extend from 1970 to 2025.
|
|
| |
This information is then uniquely represented in both graphical and tabular form by nation by key indicator by key metric as well as by world by key metric.
|
|
| |
The Universal Statistical Model is the potentially single statistical economic model ever created. It combines in total the core international statistical sets of the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, WHO, FAO and national statistical agencies.
|
|
| |
In terms of accuracy, the Universal Statistical Model is arguably the most accurate master data set yet conceived in that it is the first model to address the statistical differences and anomalies that exist between the worlds current master data sets.
|
|
| |
Further, it provides complete data projections by all 226 nations by all years from 2005 to 2025. This is especially important for analysis by nation where historically poor or non existent data has existed.

Essential structure of the USM |
|
| |
The total data set of the USM is structured by three major components:
By Nation
By Indicator
By Year |
|
| |
For example, the USM provides a detailed projected model for employment by nation for each year from 2005 to 2025.
|
|
| |
Types of indicators |
|
| |
There are essentially two types of indicators:
- base and
- aggregate |
|
| |
Base indicators |
|
| |
Base indicators are statistical data indicators such as employment that is derived from analysis of international agencies.
|
|
| |
Aggregate indicators |
|
| |
Aggregate indicators are statistical data that are derived from analysis of two or more base data sets. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an example of an aggregate indicator that is derived from base indicator data sets.

Social and political objectives |
|
| |
General social and political objectives that unite the world are such things as an end to war, and end of poverty, the saving of the environment and the balance of womens rights. These are generally seen as universally desired and are recorded in such important documents as the United Nations Millenium Goals 2015 and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
|
|
| |
While these social and political objectives are universal, their achievement remains elusive and practically impossible. That is because many political and diplomatic realities prevent nations from cooperating with one another. Much of the poverty in Africa is due to the corruption and greed of its leaders. While most developed nations provide economic aid, the problems of poverty are far more complex than simple direct food aid to stop a mass starvation.
|
|
| |
While the world should be focused on educating its citizens, it is otherwise distracted by the diplomatic and military tensions over nuclear weapons development, major territorial disputes and global religious terrorism. And so while the citizens of the West have never been more aware of the needs and problems of the world, the economic problems of the world are actually getting significantly worse.
|
|
| |
Put simply, the world faces the greatest single humanitarian crisis in its history with Africa verging on self implosion. The combination of drought, famine, disease, corruption, war and environmental destruction has brought about a situation where by 2020 over 400 million people will be on the verge of starvation and death. If nothing is done, then by 2020 we will witness the greatest loss of human life and tragedy in human history.
