General Government Consumption 1975

Report year 1975·Data year 1975

General government final consumption expenditure (% of GDP)·Neither end is better — this is a shape, not a score·Published by World Bank Group

56 reference years (1970–2025), covering 94 to 179 countries, as published by the World Bank via its indicator API (NE.CON.GOVT.ZS). What government spends on goods and services — wages, defence, the day-to-day running of public administration — as a share of GDP. ⚠ A STRUCTURAL SHARE, NOT A SCORE: it measures the size of the state in spending terms, and neither a large nor a small one is a finding. ⚠ IT IS NOT TOTAL PUBLIC SPENDING. Investment and transfers — pensions, benefits, subsidies — are excluded, so a generous welfare state can look small here. ⚠ Years before 1970 report fewer than 80 countries and are not imported. ⚠ No rank is published, so none is stored or derived.
