OECD Factbook 2008: Economic, Environmental and Social Statistics |
| The OECD Factbook 2008 is the fourth edition of a
comprehensive and dynamic statistical annual from the OECD. More than 100
indicators cover a wide range of areas: economy, agriculture, education,
energy, environment, foreign aid, health and quality of life, industry,
information and communications, population/labour force, trade and investment,
taxation, public expenditure and R&D. Data are provided for all OECD member
countries, including Canada, and for selected non-member
economies. OECD Factbook 2008 also includes a special chapter on productivity, how efficiently production inputs such as labour and capital are being used. The chapter is timely because productivity is considered a key source of economic growth and competitiveness. OECD Factbook 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, in the following fields: |

| For each indicator, there is a two-page spread. A text page
includes a short introduction followed by a detailed definition of the
indicator, comments on comparability of the data, an assessment of long-term
trends related to the indicator, and a list of references for further
information on the indicator. The next page contains a table and a graph
providing – at a glance – the key message conveyed by the data. A
dynamic link (StatLink) is provided for each table directing the user to a web
page where the corresponding data are available in Excel format.
OECD Factbook is a great reference for anyone interested to know "where we are" and "where we are going" in terms of social, economic and environmental development. It is at the same time user-friendly, comprehensive and reliable. This is a key reference tool for everyone working on economic and policy issues. Published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2008. This is an annual publication. The 2008 edition was released April 2008.
