OECD Factbook is the best-selling, annual title from the OECD.  It provides a global overview of today’s major economic, social and environmental indicators, in a range of user-friendly formats.


More countries than ever are covered in greater detail, enabling direct comparisons for many indicators between OECD Members and Brazil, Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa.


In addition, StatLinks below every table and graph contain further data in Excel™ about the other countries currently going through the OECD accession process – Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia.


Each edition of OECD Factbook contains a special chapter - this year the focus is on Inequality.
