The Bank states that every effort is made to ensure that the people subject to resettlement are given the appropriate social tools to restore their ability to function economically and earn an income.
However, the feasibility of full economic compensation is often problematic, given that no area is perfectly 'equivalent' to the place of origin. Furthermore, the issue of cultural 'sustainability' arises, even if the World Bank provisions are an improvement upon the actions of many national governments in the past: environmentalists contend that both land and endangered animals should be preserved in the interests of sustaining an ecosystem.

In the past six decades, the worldwide magnitude of development-induced displacement and resettlement has fully-fledged to an approximated 250 million to over 400 million people (Terminski, 2012). Across the globe, development projects have resulted in approximately 15 million people facing displacement on an annual basis (Van der Ploeg and Vanclay, 2017).
