This is the third in a series of statistical annuals from the OECD, providing over 100 indicators relating to the 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 debt, and research and development (R&D). Data are provided for all OECD member countries, and in some cases, for selected non-member countries as well. Time series cover, in most cases, from 1990 onwards and in many cases have data for selected years going back as far as 1960. For each indicator, there is a two-page entry. The left hand page includes a short introduction and a detailed definition of the indicator, comments on comparability of the data, an assessment of long-term trends related to the indicator, and a listing of documentation providing further information on the indicator. The right hand page contains the data table and a graphic, which presents the key message provided by the data. A dynamic link is provided for each chart and table to a Web page where the data is available to download in Excel format. For some indicators, there are supplementary tables. The annual also has a special section on migration and looks at stocks and flows of immigrants, education, labour force and remittances. The chapters are: Population; Macroeconomic trends; Economic globalisation; Prices; Energy; Labour market; Science and technology; Environment; Education; Public finance; Quality of life; Focus on migration.
