CAUTIONS

Not all organisations collate data that was requested for this project. Missing data should not be interpreted as being not applicable; in some instances the information is not known or unable to be provided. The Human Resources Project was circulated in English and also in Spanish to Spanish speaking countries. All responses were requested in English and therefore reliant on accurate translations by Member Organisation. Each slide shows the responses that were received from each WFOT Member Organisation or the WFOT Delegate. Figures shown may be approximate versus an exact number. Slides 31 and 32 required Member Organisations to provide responses expressed as a percentage. Not all combined responses equal 100% 2013 population data sourced from www.indexmundi.com
