Output per hour worked (constant 2021 international $ at PPP)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by International Labour Organization (ILO)
21 reference years (2005–2025), covering 182 to 187 countries, an ILO modelled estimate read from ILOSTAT directly (GDP_2HRW_NOC_NB), converted at purchasing power parities. ⚠ PER HOUR, which is exactly what distinguishes it from GDP per person employed, also on the site: output per WORKER flatters countries whose people work longer weeks, and this measure does not. Read it beside average weekly hours. ⚠ Ireland sits far above every other country because its GDP is inflated by multinational accounting rather than by what happens in Irish workplaces — a known distortion, not an error here. ⚠ Some recent values are flagged "Model-based extrapolation" by the ILO; the status is stored per row. The ILO ranks nobody, so no rank is stored; the POSITION is derived here and labelled as ours.

Economic output for each hour actually worked, converted at purchasing power parities — published by the ILO in its modelled estimates and read from ILOSTAT directly (GDP_2HRW_NOC_NB). ⚠ PER HOUR, which is what makes it different from GDP per person employed, already on the site: output per worker flatters countries whose people simply work longer weeks, and this one does not. Read it beside average weekly hours. The ILO does not rank countries on it, so no rank is stored and none is derived.
