Vital statistics of the Western world
' website review
Originating in the reconstruction efforts that followed the Second World War, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has built up a vast mass of comparative international data about population trends, education, agriculture, health and other areas in its 30 member countries. Its decision to put this data into an online database will be welcomed by social scientists.
The home page is clearly laid out, and gives simple instructions on getting started. New users can dive in straightaway, although a downloadable user guide in PDF format helps with the more difficult queries.
On the home page, there are five main options A- Search, Browse Themes, Browse Queries, Current Query, and Multi-Dataset Query A- listed in a menu on the left. For most people, the easiest place to start is by clicking Browse Themes, which brings up a menu of broad areas: General Statistics, Agriculture and Fisheries, Demography and Population, Development, and so on. Each area you click on expands to give further options until you reach the data you want.
