This dataset represents a selection of indicators as presented in the 2019 edition of the Government at a Glance publication. The Introduction of the overall Government at a Glance publication, describes its objective, framework and the structure by chapters, as well as the changes compared to the previous 2017 edition and the future challenges.
The 2019 edition includes input indicators on public finance and employment; while processes include data on institutions, budgeting practices and procedures, human resources management, regulatory government, public procurement and digital government and open data. Outcomes cover core government results (e.g. trust, inequality reduction) and indicators on access, responsiveness, quality and citizen satisfaction for the education, health and justice sectors. Governance indicators are especially useful for monitoring and benchmarking governments’ progress in their public sector reforms.

Government at a Glance indicators use, in principle, a common set of concepts, definitions and classifications according to the different subjects. This is done by the use of international frameworks, and its compilation procedures, such as the pillars SNA (System of National Accounts), the ILO definitions and classifications and the UN COFOG. In addition, in some indicators OECD instruments have been established regarding for example the Regulatory governance (Principles for Regulatory Quality and Performance), Public Procurement (Principles for Integrity in Public Procurement) and Budgetary institutional features in terms of Public-Private Partnerships (Principles for Public governance of PPPs). Proper metadata and references are shown alongside with the indicators in the publication.
