Computations based on OECD Social Expenditures Database (http://www.oecd.org/social/expenditure.htm) and OECD Factbook 2013 data on gross national income (http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/oecd-factbook-2013/national-income-per-capita_factbook-2013-22-en). Gross national income is a slightly different measure than gross domestic product. As the Factbook explains, “Whereas GDP refers to the income generated by production activities on the economic territory of the country, GNI measures the income generated by the residents of a country, whether earned on the domestic territory or abroad.”
