It currently encompasses yearly time-series for around 40 indicators of demography, economic accounts, labour market, social and innovation themes. In any analytical study conducted at sub-national levels, the choice of the territorial unit is of prime importance. Regions in OECD Member Countries have been classified according to two territorial levels (TL), to facilitate international comparability. The higher level (Territorial level 2) consists of macro- regions, while the lower level (Territorial level 3) is composed of micro-regions in the 30 OECD member countries. These levels are officially established, relatively stable and are used in most countries as a framework for implementing regional policies. Due to limited data availability labour market indicators in Australia and Canada are collected for groups of TL3 regions. Since these groups are not part of the OECD official territorial grids, they are labeled as Non Official Grids (NOG) in the regional database. This document presents the maps of the territorial levels of Member countries currently in use in the OECD classification.
