Technical notes:
Per capita gross domestic product
(GDP) in US dollars is calculated by the Statistics Division of the United
Nations Secretariat primarily from official national accounts statistics
in national currencies provided by national statistical services. GDP is
the total unduplicated output of economic goods and services produced within
a country as measured in monetary terms according to the United Nations
System of National Accounts (SNA). The series shown here is based on the
statistical concepts and methods recommended in the 1968 System of National
Accounts (United Nations publication, Series F, No. 2, Rev. 3). GDP
as defined in the 1968 SNA includes subsistence production produced by households
for their own use, valued at current local prices for comparable commodities.
The exchange rates used for the conversion of national
currency data into US dollars are the average market rates as published
by the International Monetary Fund in the International Financial Statistics.
Official exchange rates were used only when a free market rate was not
available. For non-members of the fund, the conversion rates used are
the average of the United Nations operational rates of exchange. For international
comparison, currency exchange rates applied to national accounts aggregates
provide an important but highly approximate measure of national economic
output and may differ substantially from comparisons based on actual purchasing
power.
Adult economic activity rate
refers to the percentage population aged 15 and over which is economically
active. Data are compiled by the International Labour Office from population
census and labour force sample survey data collected by national statistical
services and provided to ILO and the Statistics Division of the United
Nations Secretariat in publications and questionnaires. These data are
published in the Yearbook of Labour Statistics (Geneva, ILO)
and the Demographic Yearbook (United Nations publication).
The statistical concept of economically active population
used here is that recommended by the International Conference of Labour
Statisticians in 1982 and is designed to be consistent with the concept
of economic production in the System of National Accounts. It defines
as economically active all employed and unemployed persons, including
those seeking work for the first time. It covers employers operating unincorporated
enterprises, persons working on their own account, employees, unpaid family
workers, members of producers cooperatives and members of the armed forces.
In the internationally recommended definition, production of primary products
such as foodstuffs for own consumption and certain other non-monetary
activites are considered economic activity and persons engaged in such
production are to be considered economically active. In principle, any
such work for as little as one hour a week is taken to define a person
as economically active.
Specific elements of the standard concepts may differ
substantially from country to country, such as the choice of time-reference
period and the determination of minimum hours of work and unpaid family
work, including production for own consumption. These differences may
result in particular in the undercounting of women who are economically
active.
