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 2002.

  • 185 distinct values among 187

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 53.076. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • 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.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 187 countries has every column.
