The OECD has developed two statistical databases to answer the increasing demand for statistical information at the regional level:
-
The OECD Regional Database provides a unique set of comparable statistics and indicators on about 2000 regions in 30 countries. It currently encompasses yearly time-series for around 40 indicators of demography, economic accounts, labour market, social and innovation themes in the OECD member countries and other economies.
Regions in OECD member countries (pdf 9.6mb) have been classified according to two territorial levels (TL) to facilitate international comparability. The higher level (Territorial level 2) consists of macro-regions, while the lower level (Territorial level 3) is composed of micro-regions. In addition, OECD small regions (Territorial level 3) are classified according to their geography into predominantly rural, intermediate or predominantly urban (pdf 1.9mb). This typology of regions has been refined to take into account remoteness of rural regions: the extended typology (pdf 3.7mb) comprises remote rural regions, rural regions close to a city, intermediate and predominantly urban regions.
