What can you compare?
Compare observations within the same indicator, region, period type and unit. A survey percentage measures its stated population; advertising reach and active users measure something else. Regional counts are not added to a global figure.
Definitions and publisher methods can differ. Open the indicator for its definition and the linked record for the source passage, locator and citation.
