2006 Edition Out Now!

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, in the following fields :
* Population and migration
* Macroeconomic trends
* Economic globalisation
* Prices
* Labour market
* Science and technology
* Environment
* Education
* Public policies
* Quality of life
* and a special chapter dedicated to Globalisation
The 2006 edition presents many new features, including indicators on the "brain drain," Tsunami recovery, aid, and cultural and leisure activities. It also includes data on key non-OECD member countries, namely Brazil, China, India, The Russian Federation and South Africa.
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.
The OECD Factbook has become a key 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. We invite you to discover more in browsing through sample pages from the 2006 edition: the full table of contents , the analytical index , and sample indicators. All the ordering information is also available from this site.
The OECD Factbook is available online as part of SourceOECD, the service which delivers online OECD books, periodicals and statistical databases. The OECD Factbook 2006 will also available in French from June 2006.
