In the past, such services have typically been measured by the inputs used to provide them but such an approach neglects any productivity changes in service provision.

The present document summarises country practices and provides methodological guidance for output-based approaches in the measurement of health and education services. The handbook deals with volume changes over time within a country as well as with volume differences at a particular point in time across countries
