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 2001.

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 81.858. 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

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 187 countries has every column.
