Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure for the economic activity. It is defined as the value of all goods and services produced less the value of any goods or services used in their creation. GDP per person employed is intended to give an overall impression of the productivity of national economies expressed in relation to the European Union average. If the index of a country is higher than 100, this country's level of GDP per person employed is higher than the EU average and vice versa. Basic figures are expressed in PPS, i.e. a common currency that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries allowing meaningful volume comparisons of GDP between countries. Please note that 'persons employed' does not distinguish between full-time and part-time employment. Labour productivity per hour worked is calculated as real output per unit of labour input (measured by the total number of hours worked). Measuring labour productivity per hour worked provides a better picture of productivity developments in the economy than labour productivity per person employed, as it eliminates differences in the full time/part time composition of the workforce across countries and years.

The labour productivity is the ratio of gross domestic product at current price (nominal) to total hours worked by employees and self-employed (domestic concept). The GDP per hour worked gives an indication of how much economic production activity can be attributed to each hour worked in the economy. Input data are obtained from the official national accounts' country data, through ESA 2010 transmission programme. The MIP auxiliary indicator is expressed as 1-year percentage change. In the table, values are also expressed as index (2015=100).

Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is a crucial economic indicator that represents the average economic output per person in a given country or region. It is calculated by dividing the total GDP by the population size. This metric is often used to compare the economic performance of different countries and assess the relative prosperity of their citizens. Two commonly used versions of this indicator are GDP per capita at current prices and GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). GDP per capita at current prices reflects the total economic output of a country divided by its population, using the market prices of goods and services at the time of measurement. This metric provides a snapshot of the economic activity within a country without adjusting for inflation or differences in the cost of living across regions. Global GDP per capita at current prices (PPP) provides a measure of the average economic output per person, adjusted for the differences in the cost of living between countries. This adjustment allows for a more accurate comparison of living standards and economic productivity across different nations.

In Western Europe between 1913 and 1950, a period that was dominated by the two world wars, the Great Depression, and the respective recovery periods, labor productivity grew at varying rates per country. When productivity (in terms of GDP per hour worked) is compared between these years, Sweden and Switzerland saw increases of approximately 170 percent, while West German productivity grew by just 25 percent. Of the selected countries, West Germany is the outlier as it was one of the Axis powers during the Second World War, and its recovery was accompanied by territorial losses and reparations (in the form of industrial assets and labor); between 1950 and 1955, however, West German recovery ended and productivity eventually grew to become the strongest in Europe.

There are several objectives faced by the operation on Structural Indicators.The first and generic is to achieve the production, with the highest possible degree of quality, of a battery of basic or context indicators, which serve or can serve as a reference.The second objective, would be to achieve methodological homogeneity and precision in the calculation in relation to other internal systems of indicators, and especially those defined by Eurostat, to rework and elaborate series that add the temporal perspective and design and implement dynamic file formats that allow the organisation and access to all information. Finally, the specific objective of the operation would focus on the coordination, management, verification and archiving of the indicators system.
