World Population Growth Is Now Almost Entirely Concentrated in the World’s Poorer Countries. In 2009, world population stood at 6.8 billion, up about 83 million from 2008. The world total is likely to reach 7 billion in the latter half of 2011, with the bulk of growth in the world’s poorest nations. The less developed countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean are projected to increase by just under Population (billions) 50 percent in the 41 years between now and 2050, 10 and the poorest of these are projected to double in 9 population size over that period. But this scenario 8 assumes that fertility in less developed countries 7 will decline smoothly to 6 the low levels observed in today’s more developed 5 Less Developed Countries countries: about 1.8 children per woman. For 4 fertility to fall to those low 3 levels, many factors are key, including significant 2 increases in the use of family planning in many 1 More Developed Countries less developed countries. 0 1950

The World’s Youth Population, Ages 15 to 24, Will Become More and More Concentrated in Africa and Asia. By 2050, the number of youth will have risen from just under a half billion in 1950 to 1.2 billion. At that point, about nine in 10 youths will be in developing countries. This very large group will arrive at working age with a right to expect gainful employment, adequate health care, and the ability to raise a family with an appropriate living standard if they so 1950 2050 choose.

The U.S. National Child Poverty Rate Masks Substantial Geographic Differences. In 2007, 18 percent of American children and youth lived in poverty—but that figure varied widely within the United States. More than 50 percent of the nation’s 3,141 counties had child poverty levels exceeding that 18 percent national average. In nearly 1,000 counties at least 25 percent of all children were poor—one in every four children. Counties with the highest child poverty rates were in the Southeast, the Southwest, central Appalachia, much of Alaska, and pockets of the West, Great Plains, and upper Midwest, where rates ranged as high as 67 percent. By contrast, counties with relatively low child poverty were more spread out geographically, with rates as low as 3 percent.

Early Childbearing Poses Serious Health Risks for Both Mother and Child. Many girls under 18, especially in poorer countries, are physically immature and at higher risk for obstetric complications. And children born to these young mothers are at higher risk for illness and death than children born to mothers in their 20s. Some countries have reduced the prevalence of early childbearing by keeping girls in school and changing community norms and national policies about early marriage.

Despite Increases, Secondary Enrollment Rates Remain Unacceptably Low in Many Developing Countries. Education is an obvious necessity for a productive and rewarding life and contributes to economic and social progress for individuals and countries. Children in many developing countries stay in school longer, but those gains have been far from uniform. For many years, a key issue in education has been the lack of equal opportunity for girls but that, too, has undergone notable changes as the ratio of enrolled girls to boys climbs slowly to parity. Often missing in such statistics, however, is information about the quality of education, particularly in rural areas where most students in developing countries live.

2009 World Population Data Sheet 17

Acknowledgments, Notes, Sources, and Definitions Acknowledgments The authors gratefully acknowledge the valuable assistance of PRB staff members Donna Clifton, Jennay Ghowrwal, and Kelvin Pollard; staff of the International Programs Center of the U.S. Census Bureau; the United Nations (UN) Population Division; the Institut national d’etudes démographiques (INED), Paris; and the World Bank in the preparation of this year’s World Population Data Sheet. This publication is funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development (Cooperative Agreement GPO-A-00-0300004-00), and supporters. The information in this Data Sheet was not provided by and does not represent the views of the United States government or the U.S. Agency for International Development. Notes The Data Sheet lists all geopolitical entities with populations of 150,000 or more and all members of the UN. These include sovereign states, dependencies, overseas departments, and some territories whose status or boundaries may be undetermined or in dispute. More developed regions, following the UN classification, comprise all of Europe and North America, plus Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. All other regions and countries are classified as less developed. The least developed countries consist of 49 countries with especially low incomes, high economic vulnerability, and poor human development indicators. The criteria and list of countries, as defined by the United Nations, can be found at www.unohrlls.org/en/ldc/. Sub-Saharan Africa: All countries of Africa except the northern African countries of Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Western Sahara. World and Regional Totals: Regional population totals are independently rounded and include small countries or areas not shown. Regional and world rates and percentages are weighted averages of countries for which data are available; regional averages are shown when data or estimates are available for at least three-quarters of the region’s population. World Population Data Sheets from different years should not be used as a time series. Fluctuations in values from year to year often reflect revisions based on new data or estimates rather than actual changes in levels. Additional information on likely trends and consistent time series can be obtained from PRB, and are also available in UN and U.S. Census Bureau publications and websites.

Sources The rates and figures are primarily compiled from the following sources: official country statistical yearbooks, bulletins, and websites; United Nations Demographic Yearbook, 2006 of the UN Statistics Division; World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision of the UN Population Division; and the International Data Base of the International Programs Center, U.S. Census Bureau. Other sources include recent demographic surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys, Reproductive Health Surveys, special studies, and direct communication with demographers and statistical bureaus in the United States and abroad. Specific data sources may be obtained by contacting the authors of the 2009 World Population Data Sheet. For countries with complete registration of births and deaths, rates are those most recently reported. For more developed countries, nearly all vital rates refer to 2007 or 2008. Definitions Mid-2009 Population Estimates are based on a recent census, official national data, or PRB, UN, and U.S. Census Bureau projections. The effects of refugee movements, large numbers of foreign workers, and population shifts due to contemporary political events are taken into account to the extent possible. Birth and Death Rate The annual number of births and deaths per 1,000 total population. These rates are often referred to as “crude rates” since they do not take a population’s age structure into account. Thus, crude death rates in more developed countries, with a relatively large proportion of high-mortality older population, are often higher than those in less developed countries with lower life expectancy. Rate of Natural Increase (RNI) The birth rate minus the death rate, implying the annual rate of population growth without regard for migration. Expressed as a percentage. Net Migration The estimated rate of net immigration (immigration minus emigration) per 1,000 population for a recent year based upon the official national rate or derived as a residual from estimated birth, death, and population growth rates. Migration rates can vary substantially from year to year for any particular country as can the definition of an immigrant. Projected Population 2025 and 2050 Projected populations based upon reasonable assumptions on the future course of fertility, mortality, and migration. Projections are based upon official country projections, series issued by the UN or the U.S. Census Bureau, or PRB projections.

Infant Mortality Rate The annual number of deaths of infants under age 1 per 1,000 live births. Rates shown with decimals indicate national statistics reported as completely registered, while those without are estimates from the sources cited above. Rates shown in italics are based upon fewer than 50 annual infant deaths and, as a result, are subject to considerable yearly variability. Total Fertility Rate (TFR) The average number of children a woman would have assuming that current age-specific birth rates remain constant throughout her childbearing years (usually considered to be ages 15 to 49). Population Under Age 15/Age 65+ The percentage of the total population in these ages, which are often considered the “dependent ages.” Life Expectancy at Birth The average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live under current mortality levels. Percent Urban Percentage of the total population living in areas termed “urban” by that country. Countries define urban in many different ways, from population centers of 100 or more dwellings to only the population living in national and provincial capitals. Prevalence of HIV/AIDS The estimated percentage of adults, ages 15-49, and youth, ages 15-24, living with HIV/AIDS. Most figures are from UNAIDS’ 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic. Figures are updated with data from Demographic and Health Surveys where available. Some regional averages were calculated by PRB. Contraceptive Use The percentage of currently married or “in-union” women of reproductive age who are currently using any form of contraception. “Modern” methods include clinic and supply methods such as the pill, IUD, condom, and sterilization. Data are from the most recently available nationallevel surveys, such as Demographic and Health Surveys, Reproductive Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, regional survey programs, national surveys, and the UN Population Division World Contraceptive Use 2007. For more developed countries, data refer to some point in the 1990s and early 2000s; and for less developed countries, from 1995. Data prior to 2003 are shown in italics. GNI PPP per Capita, 2008 (US$) GNI PPP per capita is gross national income in purchasing power parity (PPP) divided by midyear population. GNI PPP refers to gross national income converted to “international” dollars using a purchasing power parity conversion factor. International dollars indicate the amount of goods and services one could buy in

the United States with a given amount of money. Data are from the World Bank. Figures in italics are for 2006 or 2007. Percent of Population Living on Less Than US$2/Day The proportion of the population living on less than US$2 per day at 2005 international prices, which are prices converted using purchasing power parity (PPP) rates. PPP is the amount of a country’s currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the country’s domestic market as a U.S. dollar would buy in the United States. The World Bank’s estimates are drawn from surveys that use common methods for measuring household living standards across countries. Most estimates refer to the 2001-2007 period. Figures are taken from the World Bank, 2008 World Development Indicators, Poverty Data, A Supplement to World Development Indicators 2008. Carbon Dioxide Emissions per Capita The amount of CO2 in metric tons produced or emitted per person. Figures shown include carbon dioxide produced through fuel combustion. Figures are taken from the International Energy Agency, Key World Energy Statistics 2008.

2009 World Population Data Sheet 18

The Population Reference Bureau informs people around the world about population, health, and the environment, and empowers them to use that information to advance the well-being of current and future generations.

inform

advance

PRB informs people around the world and in the United States about issues related to population, health, and the environment. To do this, we transform technical data and research into accurate, easy-to-understand information.

PRB empowers people—researchers, journalists, policymakers, and educators— to use information about population, health, and the environment to encourage action.

PRB works to advance the well-being of current and future generations. Toward that end, we analyze data and research, disseminate information, and empower people to use that information in order to inform policymaking.

Innovative Tools. PRB’s wallcharts, including the World Population Data Sheet and Family Planning Worldwide 2008, are searchable via our DataFinder web tool and make accurate demographic information accessible to a wide audience. Influential Reports. Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: Data and Trends is a new and unique data sheet that highlights FGM/C data and information for 27 countries. This data sheet is proving to be useful to those working for the abandonment of FGM/C and for the improvement of women’s reproductive health. Unbiased Policy Analysis. For more than 20 years, PRB has hosted a monthly seminar series focused on the policy implications of population issues including the U.S. Census 2010 and climate change and urban adaptation. Online Resources. PRB’s website offers full text of all PRB publications, including our respected Population Bulletins and web-exclusive data and analysis on world issues ranging from aging to family planning. Our Center for Public Information on Population Research puts new population research findings into context for journalists and policymakers.

Information alone can be powerful. Frequently, however, people have knowledge but lack the tools needed to communicate it effectively to decisionmakers. PRB builds coalitions and conducts trainings in the United States and throughout the developing world to share techniques to inform policy.

While the numbers of publications created or workshops conducted are one way to measure PRB’s work, the creation of evidence-based policies, increased demand for health services, and active coalitions are better gauges of progress toward positive social change.

Journalist Networks. Since 1996, PRB has shared techniques for fact-based, reproductive health reporting with a network of West African editors. The Pop’Médiafrique program, one of several PRB journalist networks, has improved news coverage and increased demand for family planning in the region.

Evidence-Based Policies. PRB provides analysis for the KIDS COUNT Data Book, an annual report card on the well-being of children and families in the United States, that has helped promote the passage of several U.S. policies, including the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Policy Communications Training. PRB has trained more than 700 professionals in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. For example, PRB collaborated with the West Africa Health Organization, WHO/AFRO, and AED to train 36 professionals from eight West African countries in how to advocate for strengthening family planning services to high-level policymakers and opinion leaders.

Demand for Health Services. Information broadcast by women radio journalists who attended PRB’s reproductive health workshop in Senegal has increased local demand for family planning and health services.

Data Workshops. PRB’s data workshops assist the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT network in using vital data about the status of children in the United States. Workshop participants take away the knowledge needed to access data about their particular state and communicate with policymakers.

Active Coalitions. In March 2008, PRB collaborated with Filipino stakeholders in hosting the Third National Population, Health, and Environment Conference, which brought together 326 national and international representatives from government, civil society, and the private sector. This conference provided a forum for sharing experiences and best practices.

PRB’s World Population Data Sheet is used around the world and is widely considered to be the most accurate source of information on population. If you value the Data Sheet and are among the tens of thousands of people who eagerly anticipate its publication each year, please consider making a contribution to PRB.
