Going for Growth is an OECD flagship publication alongside the OECD Economic Outlook and OECD Economic Surveys. First published in 2005, this annual report provides an overview of structural policy developments in OECD countries from a comparative perspective. Based on a broad set of indicators of structural policies and performance, each edition takes stock of recent progress in implementing policy reforms to improve labour productivity and utilisation that were identified as priorities in the previous edition. The set of internationally comparable indicators provided here enables countries to assess their economic performance and structural policies in a broad range of areas.
