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

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

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.

NOTES
(—) Indicates data unavailable or inapplicable.
a
Infant deaths 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 on reverse.
Rates shown in italics are based upon fewer than
50 annual infant deaths and, as a result, are subject
to considerable yearly variability.
b
Average number of children born to a woman
during her lifetime.
c
Special Administrative Region.
d
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on
Feb. 17, 2008. Serbia has not recognized Kosovo’s
independence.
e
The former Yugoslav Republic.
f
Includes Kosovo.
z
Rounds to zero.
*
Data prior to 2003 are shown in italics.

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.

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.

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,
