Structural policy indicators

This chapter contains a comprehensive set of quantitative indicators that allow for a comparison of policy settings across countries (both OECD and selected non-OECD as per data availability). The indicators cover areas of tax and transfer systems and how they affect work incentives, as well as product and labour market regulations, education and training, trade and investment rules and innovation policies. The indicators are presented in the form of figures showing for all countries the most recent available observation and the change relative to the previous observation. In addition to individual country scores, most figures show the average result across all countries (horizontal line), as well as across OECD countries and the European Union countries.
