## Description

Imagine you're drafting a report on global inequality or planning an urban development project in a developing nation. Right now, that probably involves opening dozens of tabs, hunting for the right World Bank page, and copy-pasting numbers into a spreadsheet, only to realize you need to check three other countries and start the whole process over. This Connector changes that. It gives your AI agent the ability to act as a global demographer. You can just ask it for the poverty headcount ratio of a specific country or the urbanization trends of a region, and it pulls the data directly from the source. It handles the heavy lifting of finding the right indicators so you can focus on the analysis. Whether you're looking for year-over-year growth trends or checking the Gini index for a specific nation, the data is just a prompt away. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can get it running in your preferred AI client in minutes, turning your agent into a researcher that actually knows the numbers.

## Tools

### get_poverty
Get the poverty headcount ratio based on a $15 a day threshold. This helps you identify extreme poverty levels quickly.

### get_gini_index
Pull the Gini index for a country. It's the standard way to measure income inequality in a specific region.

### get_social_indicator
Get any World Bank population or social indicator using its specific code. This allows for deep-dive research into niche data points.

### get_total_population
Get the total population for a specific country or region. This is useful for basic demographic baseline checks.

### get_population_growth
Retrieve the annual population growth percentage. Use this to see how quickly a country's population is changing.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the poverty headcount ratio and Gini index for Nigeria?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Nigeria: Poverty & Inequality

*   **Poverty Headcount Ratio:** [X.X%]
    *(Based on $15 a day at 2017 international prices)*
*   **Gini Index:** [0.XX]

**Analysis:** The Gini index of [0.XX] indicates [high/moderate] income inequality, while the poverty ratio suggests [X]% of the population lives below the international poverty line.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare the urbanization growth of Vietnam and Thailand.
```

**Response:** 
```
### Urbanization Trends: Vietnam vs. Thailand

| Country | Annual Population Growth |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Vietnam** | [X.X%]
| **Thailand** | [Y.Y%]

Vietnam is currently experiencing [faster/slower] growth compared to Thailand, which may impact infrastructure demands in the coming decade.
