Abstract:
This book presents comprehensive political, social and economic statistics on the 24 OECD countries. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section features comparative tables covering all countries. It contains data on population structure, employment, economy, industry, public expenditure and taxation, government structure, and electoral data. The second section covers the most significant features of government and politics. It provides information on state structure and offices, parties, government constitutions, electoral and voting systems, and basic materials about economic interest, organisations and the media.
