Government at a Glance 2021
The 2021 edition includes input indicators on public finance and employment; process indicators include data on institutions, budgeting practices, human resources management, regulatory governance, public procurement, governance of infrastructure, public sector integrity, open government and digital government. Outcome indicators cover core government results (e.g. trust, political efficacy, inequality reduction) and indicators on access, responsiveness, quality and satisfaction for the education, health and justice sectors. Governance indicators are useful for monitoring and benchmarking governments’ progress in their public sector reforms.

Breakdown of government spending by functions of social protection and health (COFOG)
Social protection and health care are on average the most important spending categories in OECD countries. The availability of data for OECD-EU countries and some other OECD members allows these broad spending categories to be examined in greater detail. Social spending and health care are particularly important as many OECD-EU countries share common challenges. These are associated with the evolution of their demographic profiles (i.e. higher life expectancy and/or low fertility rates) alongside rapid technological change in the health sector and more expensive treatments.
