OECD: Measuring the transformation of the economy - green growth Indicators

The socio-economic context Indicators on the socio-economic context provide important background information, particularly with regard to economic growth, productivity and competitiveness (Figure 6). They also provide information on demography, health, education and income inequality along with key features of the labour market that can sustain job creation and facilitate labour markets adjustments.

Such information is useful to track the effects of green growth policies on growth, to establish links to social concerns such as equity and inclusion, and to interpret GGIs in the light of national socio-economic circumstances.
