Description:

The OECD Factbook 2009 is the fifth 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.

This year, the OECD Factbook features a focus chapter on inequality.

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:

Population
Macroeconomic trends
Economic globalization
Prices
Energy
Labour market
Science and technology
Environment
Education
Public finance
Quality of life

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.

Price and availability subject to change. Shipping and applicable taxes extra.
