Insights Into Performance & Society
Country reports (also referred to as overviews or profiles) are designed to provide the reader with factual information on a range of factors related to the performance of a country. Profiles can vary in how much & what type of information they provide.
Some are brief while others provide an in-depth survey of specific topics & statistics. This may include a Political, Economical, Social, Technological, Legal & Environmental (PESTLE) analysis. Country profiles are an excellent starting point for research.
