World Bank estimates show that among major economies, Australia, United States, Germany and Canada stand out for their levels of capital per capita. The charts below compare estimated levels in 2018 of ‘produced capital’ (i.e. made by people, such as machinery, buildings, equipment), human capital (i.e. the wealth embedded in people themselves, estimated as the present value of future earnings for the working population over their lifetimes), natural capital (i.e. the wealth offered by nature, measured using valuation of renewable and nonrenewable natural capital, including agricultural land, forests, protected areas, fossil fuel and minerals. Human capital is estimated to represent over 60% of total wealth globally across assets.
