Working conditions and hours by country
Output per person, urbanisation and school enrolment — the figures that shape what work looks like.
Hours worked, contract type and safety are measured by the ILO, which this dataset does not carry. What it does carry is the surrounding picture: what a worker produces, how much of the population lives in cities, and how much schooling the next generation is getting.
GDP per capita (PPP)
A higher value means more output per person to go round. 199 Countries reporting this indicator.
Among the 199 countries reporting gdp per capita (ppp), the figure runs from 1193.04 (Burundi, 2024) to 156079.37 (Luxembourg, 2024), with a median of 21025.84. The middle half of the countries fall between 3321.58 and 75774.41.

About these figures
Every number on this page comes from the World Bank Open Data, with the year it was observed attached. World Bank data is released under CC BY 4.0 Retrieved 2026-11-01.
This page describes the shape of the data. It does not rank countries against each other, and it says nothing about the people who live in them — a low figure is a fact about conditions and about what the source reports, not a verdict on a population. Our editorial standard.
