The OECD Factbook App is organised around 12 themes such as population and migration, macroeconomic trends, and globalization. Each indicator includes a table showing the latest available data for the 30 OECD countries. When available, it also shows data from countries with which the OECD has close co-operation such as Brazil, Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa.

The app has iOs as well as Android version.

Before to download the app it is a good idea to visit the Your Better Life Index website to understand how the app works.
