The year the figures used for this chart were published, collected or compiled range from 1996 to 2003. Exact years for each country can be found in the documents linked below.

Graphic chart created by User:Phils using Microsoft Excel 2004 (Mac) and OECD data available for download and discussed here. The actual data was extracted from an Excel data sheet downloadable here, which contains the following source information:

Further SVG Info: This version uses regular text. While this makes the file much smaller, it can look strange when rendered on Wikipedia. A larger version with the text changed to paths (removing the rendering and scaling issues) is also available.
