Note: Figures are relative to the industrial countries' average (i.e. OECD), which is indexed to equal 100. The
smaller the figure the bigger the gap, the closer the figure is to 100 the smaller the gap, and a figure above
100 indicates that the country is better than the industrialized world's average.
