Demographic Indicators Total Population The number of people in a given area (i.e., country) in a particular time period (usually a midyear estimate). Population Growth Rate The average annual growth rate is the rate of natural increase in a population plus the net migration rate. The rate of natural increase is the difference between the birth rate and the death rate, but it is conventionally measured in percentage terms (per hundred rather than per thousand). Percent Urban The percentage of the midyear population living in areas defined as urban in each country and reported to the United Nations. Women, 15-19 The number of women between the ages of 15-19 in the midyear population. Women, 15-49 The number of women between the ages of 15-49 in the midyear population. Life Expectancy at Birth The average number of years that a person at age 0 will live if age-specific death rates remain constant. Life expectancy at birth is highly affected by rates of infant and child death. Crude Birth Rate The number of births per thousand of the population. The product of the number of live births, divided by the midpoint population, multiplied by 1,000. Crude Death Rate The number of deaths per thousand of the population. The product of the number of deaths divided by the midpoint population, multiplied by 1,000. Number of Live Births The number of live births, annually, within a country. Healthy Life Expectancy: Female The number of years of in full health that a female newborn can expect to live based on current rates of ill-health and mortality. HALE is based on life expectancy at birth but includes an adjustment for time spent in poor health. Healthy Life Expectancy: Male The number of years of in full health that a male newborn can expect to live based on current rates of ill- health and mortality. HALE is based on life expectancy at birth but includes an adjustment for time spent in poor health. Population: Percent < Age 15 Percent of population less than 15 years of age. Socioeconomic Indicators GNI per Capita (PPP) The gross national income (GNI) converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity (PPP) rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GNI as a U.S. dollar has in the United States. Health Expenditure as Percentage of GDP Total health expenditures is the sum of public and private health expenditures figured as a percentage of a country's gross domestic product (GDP). It covers the provision of health services (preventive and curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health but does not include provision of water and sanitation. Physicians per 1,000 People Physicians are defined as graduates of any faculty or school of medicine who are working in the country in any medical field (practice, teaching, research). Adult Literacy Rate The percentage of people ages 15 and over who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement about their everyday life. Adult Literacy Rate, Female The percentage of women ages 15 and over who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement about their everyday life. Adult Literacy Rate, Male The percentage of men ages 15 and over who can, with understanding, read and write a short, simple statement about their everyday life. Gross Enrollment Ratio - Primary School Total enrolment in primary level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population in the official age group corresponding to primary level of education. The GER can exceed 100% due to late entry or/and repetition. Gender Parity Index - Net Enrollment Ratio The ratio of the female-to-male values (or male to female, in certain cases) of net primary school enrollment rates (NER). NER measures the number of pupils in the official age group for a given level of ecudation, expressed as a percentage of the population in that age group. Access to an Improved Water Source (Rural) Access to an improved water source in rural areas. Refers to the percentage of the rural population with reasonable access to an adequate amount of water from an improved source, such as a household connection, public standpipe, borehole, protected well or spring, or rainwater collection. Unimproved sources include vendors, tanker trucks, and unprotected wells and springs. Access to an Improved Water Source (Urban) Access to an improved water source in urban areas. Refers to the percentage of the urban population with reasonable access to an adequate amount of water from an improved source, such as a household connection, public standpipe, borehole, protected well or spring, or rainwater collection. Unimproved sources include vendors, tanker trucks, and unprotected wells and springs. Access to Improved Sanitation Facilities (Rural) Access to improved sanitation facilities in rural areas. Refers to the percentage of the rural population with access to at least adequate excreta disposal facilities (private or shared, but not public) that can effectively prevent human, animal, and insect contact with excreta. Access to Improved Sanitation Facilities (Urban) Access to improved sanitation facilities in urban areas. Refers to the percentage of the urban population with access to at least adequate excreta disposal facilities (private or shared, but not public) that can effectively prevent human, animal, and insect contact with excreta. Population Living Below $1 a Day The percentage of the population living below the specified poverty line of $1 a day at 1985 international prices (equivalent to $1.08 at 1993 international prices), adjusted for purchasing power parity. Human Development Index The HDI is a composite index that measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth; knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate and the combined gross enrollment ratio for primary, secondary, and tertiary schools; and a decent standard of living, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in purchasing power parity (PPP) US dollars. Population Below Poverty Line National estimates of the percentage of the population falling below the poverty line are based on surveys of sub-groups, with the results weighted by the number of people in each group. Definitions of poverty vary considerably among nations. For example, rich nations generally employ more generous standards of poverty than poor nations. Real GDP (Growth) Rate This entry gives the gross domestic product (GDP) growth on an annual basis adjusted for inflation and expressed as a percent. Income Inequality (Gini index) This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country. It is calculated from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted against the number of families arranged from the poorest to the richest. The index is the ratio of (a) the area between a country's Lorenz curve and the 45 degree helping line to (b) the entire triangular area under the 45 degree line. The more nearly equal a country's income distribution, the closer its Lorenz curve to the 45 degree line and the lower its Gini index, e.g., a Scandinavian country with an index of 25. The more unequal a country's income distribution, the higher its Gini index, e.g., a Sub-Saharan country with an index of 50. If income were distributed with perfect equality, the index would be zero; if income were distributed with perfect inequality, the index would be 100. Unemployment Rate This entry contains the percent of the labor force that is without jobs. Substantial underemployment might be noted. Inflation Rate This entry furnishes the annual percent change in consumer prices compared with the previous year's consumer prices. Airports This entry gives the total number of airports or airfields recognizable from the air. The runway(s) may be paved (concrete or asphalt surfaces) or unpaved (grass, earth, sand, or gravel surfaces) but may include closed or abandoned installations. Airports or airfields that are no longer recognizable (overgrown, no facilities, etc.) are not included. Note that not all airports have accomodations for refueling, maintenance, or air traffic control. Airports with paved runways This entry gives the total number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces) by length. For airports with more than one runway, only the longest runway is included according to the following five groups - (1) over 3,047 m, (2) 2,438 to 3,047 m, (3) 1,524 to 2,437 m, (4) 914 to 1,523 m, and (5) under 914 m. Only airports with usable runways are included in this listing. Not all airports have facilities for refueling, maintenance, or air traffic control. Family Planning Indicators Total Fertility Rate (BUCEN) The number of children a woman between ages 15-49 would have during her reproductive life, if, for all of her childbearing years she were to experience the age-specific birth rates for that given year. Total Fertility Rate (DHS) The number of children a woman between ages 15-49 would have during her lifetime if she were to bear children at the currently observed rates. Contraceptive Prevalence Rate, Modern Methods, All Women Percentage of all women ages 15-49 currently using a modern method of contraception. Modern methods include oral contraceptives, IUDs, injectables, female and male sterilization, all emergency contraception, and barrier methods (diaphragm, foam, jelly, male and female condom). Contraceptive Prevalence Rate, Modern Methods, Married Women Percent of currently married women ages 15-49 currently using a modern method of contraception. Modern methods include oral contraceptives, IUDs, injectables, female and male sterilization, all emergency contraception, and barrier methods (diaphragm, foam, jelly, male and female condom). Median Age of Sexual Debut Among Women, Ages 25-49 Median age of first sexual intercourse for women ages 25-49. Mean Ideal Family Size Mean ideal number of children for all women, according to number of living children. Women 20-24 Who Gave Birth Before Age 20 Percentage of women ages 20-24 who have given birth before age 20. Total Fertility Rate, Rural In rural areas only, the number of children a woman between ages 15-49 would have during her lifetime if she were to bear children at the currently observed rates. Unmet Need for Family Planning: Rural In rural areas, percentage of married women ages 15-49 with unmet need for family planning. Unmet need for spacing includes pregnant women whose pregnancy was mistimed, amenorrheic women who are not using family planning and whose last birth was mistimed, and fecund women who are neither pregnant nor amenorrheic and who are not using any method of family planning and say they want to wait 2 or more years for their next birth. Also included are fecund women who are not using any method of family planning and say they are unsure whether they want another child or who want another child but are unsure when to have the birth unless they say it would not be a problem if they discovered they were pregnant in the next few weeks. Unmet need for limiting refers to pregnant women whose pregnancy was unwanted, amenorrheic women whose last child was unwanted, and fecund women who are neither pregnant nor amenorrheic and who are not using any method of family planning and want no more children. Unmet Need for Family Planning: Urban In urban areas, percentage of married women ages 15-49 with unmet need for family planning. Unmet need for spacing includes pregnant women whose pregnancy was mistimed, amenorrheic women who are not using family planning and whose last birth was mistimed, and fecund women who are neither pregnant nor amenorrheic and who are not using any method of family planning and say they want to wait 2 or more years for their next birth. Also included are fecund women who are not using any method of family planning and say they are unsure whether they want another child or who want another child but are unsure when to have the birth unless they say it would not be a problem if they discovered they were pregnant in the next few weeks. Unmet need for limiting refers to pregnant women whose pregnancy was unwanted, amenorrheic women whose last child was unwanted, and fecund women who are neither pregnant nor amenorrheic and who are not using any method of family planning and want no more children. Contraceptive Prevalence Rate, All Methods Percentage of currently married women ages 15-49 currently using ANY method of contraception. Equity in use of modern contraception Contraceptive prevalence rate in the lowest wealth quintile/contraceptive prevalence rate in the highest wealth quintile. Percent of need satisfied by modern methods of family planning Number of women in union who are fecund and are currently using modern contraceptive methods to stop or postpone the next pregnancy/number of women in union who are fecund and who desire to either terminate childbearing or to postpone their next birth for 2 years or more. Maternal Health Indicators Maternal Mortality Ratio (WHO/Hill) The estimated number of women who die as a result of pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 live births arrived through Hill et al., adjustment procedure depending on the nature of data used. The margins of uncertainty associated with the estimated maternal mortality ratios are very large and the estimates should not be used to monitor trends in the short term (including comparisons between 1995 and 2000 estimates). In addition, cross-country comparisons should be treated with considerable circumspection because different strategies are used to derive the estimates for different countries rendering comparisons fraught with difficulty. For further information please refer to the source. Maternal Mortality Ratio (DHS) The estimated number of women who die as a result of pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 live births, arrived mostly through the "sisterhood method". The data are aggregated based on different time periods ranging from four to ten years preceding the survey. Thus, the data may not be suitable for trend analysis due to over-lapping year ranges of estimates. For further information on methodology please refer to: Stanton, Cynthia, Noureddine Abderrahim, and Kenneth Hill. 1997.
