Data inventory and updates

A country comparison like this can be based on several hundred individual data items from dozens of different sources. All data are based on the most recent data available to us. Most of them refer to the previous year and are updated around March of the following year. If a country has not yet published data for the most recent or penultimate year, we present the most recent official data. Updates are made on an ongoing basis depending on the subject area or source, so there is no single "cutoff date" for this comparison. Sources for almost all data can be found on our respective country pages.✕

A small favor...

This country comparison is a very condensed summary of hundreds of data on a wide variety of topics. It is impossible to explain all the details here. There are 42 links to explanations and further information on this page alone.

We are happy to receive feedback, tips and advice. However, please read beforehand how the data is obtained and calculated.

Thank you very much!🔎︎
