The information provided is in two parts. One is a collection of 72 economic and productivity indicators, each of which gives 10-year time-series data arranged into eight categories. The other is a set of analysis reports of the data of each participating country by specially appointed national experts who also assembled the data.

This information is useful for the participating countries to:
- Compare results achieved in the productivity drive with their own planned targets and with those of other countries
- Check progress made in various economic and productivity endeavors
- Identify areas where measures for improving productivity are needed
- Formulate policies for achieving a sustained high socio-economic development and a more effective productivity movement
