What this site changed: Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

Licence: OECD Terms and Conditions — Data clause. The OECD’s own terms for its data: reuse, including commercial reuse, with the OECD credited as the source.
