Productivity Statistics
About Statistics Publications & Documents Information by Country

Productivity measures are key indicators of economic performance and there is strong interest in comparing them internationally. The OECD Productivity Database  is a joint product of four OECD Directorates and aims at bringing together those series that are judged best suited for productivity analysis. Where possible, data has been complemented with methodological information to facilitate an assessment of its quality and its international comparability.
