This 2002 edition of OECD in Figures contains key data on OECD countries, ranging from economic growth and employment to education and migration. There are comparable tables on the environment, science and education. For added perspective and comparability, OECD in Figures includes a selection of graphs, giving snapshots on subjects such as sustainable development and development aid, taxation, unemployment and literacy.

OECD in Figures is an original, simple to use, pocket data book. It is a primary statistical source. And as with all OECD data, it is compiled and checked by our experts, so that decision-makers in government, research and business know they can rely on it. Thanks to the web edition, OECD in Figures is now more than ever the public gateway to one of the richest and most respected economic, financial, social and environmental databases around.
