The OECD Factbook is an essential tool providing a global overview of world economic, social and environmental trends. It brings together in a single publication 100 indicators that are essential for evaluating the relative position of any OECD country, both at a given moment and over time.
The 100 indicators are all presented as a double page spread. On the left page, you will find systematic definitions of the indicators used, comment on the extent of comparability of data from national sources, and a guide to other statistical and analytic publications from the OECD. These texts are essential to understand where the data come from and how they can be used.
On the right page, the indicators are presented with clear tables and graphs. Under each table and graph, a StatLink enables any reader to immediately download the original data in Excel format. This new function is the ultimate mix of print and online access to statistical information and allows readers to directly insert original OECD data into other documents.
