Should I do a Tuesday hint, or do people want to make an attempt first?Report
Hint, please!Report
Tuesday Hint: above are the 34 OECD nations arranged in a certain order. If I were to include a few other countries, the list would look like this:
Indonesia, South Korea, China, Turkey, India, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, Japan, Italy, Spain, Austria, Luxembourg, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Australia, France, Slovenia, Greece, Belgium, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada, Iceland, Sweden, United States, Poland, Norway, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Slovak Republic, South Africa, RussiaReport
Domesticity of the work force? That is to say, the number of employed workers who are natural-born citizens of the country?Report
Or perhaps the other way, percent of the adult workforce working in other countries.Report
Renewable energy?Report
Thursday hint:
The list represents a change in something over a certain time period.Report
Does the delta involved include figures both above and below zero?
Now I’m thinking it’s GDP growth, with economically growing countries listed first and recessionary countries listed towards the end; somewhere in between (not necessarily the middle!) would be countries that are roughly stagnant.Report
Increase in life expectancy?Report
Well done. Here is the relevant source: http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/health_glance-2011-en/01/01/g1-01-01.html?contentType=&itemId=/content/chapter/health_glance-2011-4-en&containerItemId=/content/serial/19991312&accessItemIds=/content/book/health_glance-2011-en&mimeType=text/html
There are a lot of interesting data in there!Report
