04Caveats

Read before you use

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

How values are stored

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 2014.
186 distinct values among 187
Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 2 countries share 60.055. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
ILO publishes values only; the order is this site’s.
85 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: Imputation, Model-based extrapolation.
