04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from ILO’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2011.

  • The position is ours

    ILO publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.

  • Which end is better

    A higher value is the better result.

  • 102 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.

  • Some readings carry a flag

    ILO marks readings it considers estimates or provisional. The flags in this file: Unreliable, Break in series.
