Japan 2008 An International Comparison
- 作者:経済広報センター
- メディア: 単行本
- -
携帯できる英文のデータ集として，ながらく『日英対訳 朝日データ年鑑――ジャパンアルマナック――』（朝日新聞社）を使ってきた。残念なことに2006年版を見たきりでその後は出ていないようだ。
この英文国際比較統計集 Japan 2008: An International Comparison も毎年出版されてきたようで，手帳判なのがいい。バッグやポケットにしのばせておけば，いろんな使い回しができそう。国際比較のための統計集ということなので，日本国内の諸指標をどこまで入れるか悩ましいとは思うが，人口と附録の日本地図にはすべての県と県庁所在地が欲しい（2009年版では松山だけでも入れて！）。「9-8」の高等教育機関中で国立と公立の違いと絶対数の増減の趨勢が見えないので，工夫の余地があると思う。（タイトル中の FY は Fiscal Year の略）
