Sources & methodology
Annual observations from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. The source links include definitions and the original reporting agencies. GDP uses current US dollars; growth uses constant-price measures. Labour estimates and other modelled series are identified in their source names.
The latest available observation and the previous available observation are shown for each series; years can differ across indicators and gaps can occur. The source release date is the WDI dataset’s update date, not the year measured or an individual indicator’s publication date. Checks run daily when visited; the most recently saved figures remain available if the source cannot be reached. Export CSV includes full numeric precision, reporting years and citations.
32 of 32 tracked series have published observations for Japan. Forecasts, policy rates, monthly releases and housing prices are outside this annual dataset.
