On the other hand, it is aimed to monitor the differences between the wealth composition of households in underdeveloped, developing and developed countries. In line with these basic objectives; It was aimed to determine the characteristics of countries with similar wealth structures for 171 countries. According to the similarities between the units studied in the study, clustering analysis method was used to collect and classify within certain groups, to reveal the common characteristics of the units and to make general definitions about these classes.
