About this data
This measure of labour productivity is calculated using data on GDP in constant 2015 US dollars derived from the World Development Indicators database of the World Bank. To compute labour productivity as GDP per worker, ILO estimates for total employment are used. For more information, refer to the ILO Modelled Estimates (ILOEST) database description.
