Labour productivity
Tier A· OfficialGDP produced per employed person, in constant PPP dollars — output per worker.
100 = highest output per worker, 0 = lowest
Mixed reference years (2021–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.
How this score is built
Labour productivity — GDP per person employed, in constant 2021 PPP $ — World Bank indicator SL.GDP.PCAP.EM.KD (ILO/World Bank). Direction is higher_better. Output per worker spans two orders of magnitude, so we normalize on a log scale (log + min–max). The raw figure is shown. Most recent available year per country.
