Statistical Tables
NOVEMBER 2009
This reference guide presents the most recent key statistics
on child survival, development and protection for the world’s
countries, territories and regions in a single volume. These
indicators are usually included in The State of the World’s
Children, UNICEF’s annual flagship publication. To commemorate
the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
on 20 November 2009, UNICEF is dedicating a special edition
of the report to child rights. As the launch of The State of the
World’s Children Special Edition: Celebrating 20 Years of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child takes place earlier than
in recent years, it has not been possible to incorporate the 2009
statistical tables into the print version of the main report.
The statistical tables presented in this volume assist in meeting
the demand for timely, reliable, comparable and comprehensive
data on the state of the world’s children. They also support
UNICEF’s focus on progress and results on internationally
agreed development goals and compacts on child rights and
development. UNICEF is the lead agency responsible for global
monitoring of the Millennium Declaration child-related goals as
well as the Millennium Development Goals and Indicators; the
organization is also a key partner in the United Nations’ work
on monitoring these targets and indicators.
All of the numbers presented in this reference guide will
be available online, in English, on 20 November 2009 at
<www.unicef.org/publications> and in print and online in other
languages shortly thereafter. Please refer to this website for
the latest versions of the statistical tables and for any updates
or corrigenda subsequent to printing. The data will also be
available via the UNICEF global statistical databases at
<www.childinfo.org> from November 2009 onward.

GENERAL NOTE ON THE DATA
General note on the data
The data presented in the following statistical tables are
derived from the UNICEF global databases, which include
only internationally comparable and statistically sound
data; these data are accompanied by definitions, sources
and explanations of symbols. Data from the responsible
United Nations organization have been used whenever
possible. In the absence of such internationally standardized estimates, the tables draw on other sources, particularly data derived from nationally representative household
surveys. Data presented in this year’s statistical tables
generally reflect information available as of July 2009.
More detailed information on methodology and the data
sources is available at <www.childinfo.org>.
Several of the indicators, such as the data for life expectancy, total fertility rates, and crude birth and death
rates, are part of the regular work on estimates and projections undertaken by the United Nations Population Division.
These and other internationally produced estimates are
revised periodically, which explains why some data will
differ from those published in earlier UNICEF publications.
This report includes the latest estimates and projections
from World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision
(United Nations Department of Economic and Social
Affairs, Population Division). Data quality is likely to be
adversely affected for countries that have recently suffered
human-caused or natural disasters. This is particularly true
where basic country infrastructure has been fragmented or
major population movements have occurred.
Child mortality estimates
Each year, in its flagship publication The State of the
World’s Children, UNICEF reports a series of mortality estimates for children, including the annual infant mortality
rate, under-five mortality rate and number of under-five
deaths, for at least two reference years. These figures represent the best estimates available at the time the report
goes to print. The estimates are based on the work of the
Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME),
which includes UNICEF, the World Health Organization
(WHO), the United Nations Population Division and the
World Bank.
The IGME updates these mortality estimates each year,
undertaking a detailed review of all newly available data
points. This exercise often results in adjustments to previously reported estimates; as a result, estimates published
in consecutive editions of The State of the World’s Children
may not be comparable and should not be used for
analysing mortality trends over time. Comparable
under-five mortality estimates for the periods 1970–2008
are presented below, according to UNICEF Regional and
Country Classifications.
Country-specific mortality indicators for 1970–2008,
based on the most recent IGME estimates, are presented
in Table 10 (for years 1970, 1990, 2000 and 2008) and are
also available at <www.childinfo.org> and<www/child
mortality.org>, the website of the IGME.

For the 2008 child mortality estimates, several key changes
have been made, including:
• A substantial amount of newly available data and data
missing from the past has been incorporated. These
new data have resulted in substantial changes in child
mortality levels and trends for some countries compared with the previous estimates.
• Estimates for some countries have been adjusted to
take into account reporting bias associated with maternal deaths in settings with a high prevalence of HIV. Previously, survey-based estimates tended to under-report
child deaths in households where mothers are absent
due to HIV-related death or illness. In 2009, the Technical Advisory Group of the IGME developed a new
method to adjust mortality related to HIV and AIDS for
each data observation, using a set of simplified assumptions about the distribution of births to HIV-positive
women by the duration of their infection, rates of vertical transmission, survival times of both mothers and
children from the time of the birth, and coverage of
key HIV-related services.
Further details on refinements to the methodology used
to generate child mortality estimates can be found at
<www.childinfo.org>.
Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys: For more than a
decade, UNICEF has supported countries in collecting
statistically sound and internationally comparable data
through the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).
Since 1995, nearly 200 surveys have been conducted in
approximately 100 countries and territories. The third

round of MICS surveys was conducted in more than 50
countries during 2005–2006, allowing for a new and more
comprehensive assessment of the situation of children
and women globally. The fourth round of surveys is now
under way and will run until 2011.
The UNICEF-supported MICS are among the largest
sources of data for monitoring progress towards internationally agreed development goals for children, including
the Millennium Development Goals. Many of the MICS indicators have been incorporated into the statistical tables
appearing in this report. More information on these data is
available at <www.childinfo.org>.
Regional Classification: Beginning with this issue of
The State of the World’s Children, UNICEF has added
two new regional groupings: Africa and Asia. In addition,
the number of countries classified in the sub-Saharan
Africa region has increased, with the inclusion of Djibouti
and the Sudan. As a result, regional estimates for
sub-Saharan Africa published in previous issues of The
State of the World’s Children may not be comparable
with those published in this issue. All other regions
remain unchanged.
For details of the countries included in all UNICEF regions,
please refer to the UNICEF Regional Classification, page 44.
Revisions to Statistical Tables
Table 1. Basic Indicators:
Neonatal mortality rates: The neonatal mortality rates for
the year 2004, as presented in this table, are produced by
the World Health Organization and have not been formally
THE STATE OF THE WORLD’S CHILDREN | SPECIAL EDITION
GENERAL NOTE ON THE DATA
assessed by the Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality
Estimation. These estimates, therefore, may not be consistent with the age structure of child mortality implicit in the
infant and under-five mortality estimates for 2008.
Table 2. Nutrition:
Underweight, stunting and wasting: Underweight prevalence, stunting and wasting among children under five
years of age is estimated by comparing actual measurements with an international standard reference population.
In April 2006, the World Health Organization released the
WHO Child Growth Standards to replace the widely used
National Center for Health Statistics/World Health Organization (NCHS/WHO) reference population, which was
based on a limited sample of children from the United
States. The new standards are the result of an intensive
study project involving more than 8,000 children from
Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the United States.
Overcoming the technical and biological drawbacks of
the old reference population, the new standards confirm
that children born anywhere in the world and given the
optimum start in life have the potential to develop to
within the same range of height and weight. Differences
in children’s growth to age five are more influenced by
nutrition, feeding practices, environment and health care
than genetics or ethnicity.
In The State of the World’s Children 2009, the anthropometric indicators were based mostly on the NCHS/WHO
standards, with an additional column added for underweight prevalence (moderate and severe) based on
the WHO Child Growth Standard. This presentation is
reversed this year, with all of the main indicators for
underweight prevalence, stunting and wasting presented
according to the WHO Child Growth Standards, and an
additional column displaying underweight prevalence
(moderate and severe) based on the NCHS/WHO standard.
Owing to the differences between the old reference
population and the new standards, prevalence estimates
of child anthropometry indicators published in consecutive
editions of The State of the World’s Children may not be
fully comparable.
Early initiation of breastfeeding: UNICEF and WHO recommend early initiation of breastfeeding, i.e., putting a newborn to the breast within one hour of birth. This is the first
year the indicator of early initiation of breastfeeding is
reported in the statistical tables.
Vitamin A supplementation: Previously, two data points
were reported for vitamin A supplementation coverage: at
least one dose and full coverage (two or more doses). Both
indicators were derived from coverage reported for the period January–June (round 1) and July–December (round 2).
The indicator for at least one dose reported coverage from
round 2 in most cases.
Beginning this year, only full coverage is reported for vitamin
A supplementation, emphasizing the importance for children
to receive two annual doses of vitamin A spaced 4–6 months
apart. In the absence of a direct method to measure this
indicator, full coverage is reported as the lower coverage
estimate from rounds 1 and 2 in a given year.
Table 3. Health:
Insecticide-treated mosquito nets: The indicator underfives sleeping under a mosquito net has been replaced by
household availability of insecticide-treated mosquito nets
(ITNs). This year's report presents two indicators for ITNs:
household availability of ITNs and children sleeping under
ITNs. Viewed together, these two indicators provide an
important snapshot of ITN availability and usage. ITNs
increasingly constitute the majority of nets distributed to
countries owing to their proven efficacy; consequently,
there is increasing emphasis on monitoring ITNs rather
than the availability and use of any type of net.
Table 4. HIV and AIDS:
The latest 2008 HIV and AIDS estimates generated by
the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS
(UNAIDS) were under revision at the time these tables
were generated in mid-2009 and are set for release in late
2009 in the 2009 AIDS Epidemic Update. Please refer to
<www.unaids.org> or <www.childinfo.org> for further
information and updates.
HIV and AIDS estimates for 2007 presented in this report
were released in August 2008 by UNAIDS and WHO. These
estimates were derived using a more refined methodology
than previous estimations and reflect the availability of
more reliable data from population-based surveys and expanded national sentinel surveillance systems in a number
of countries. Differences between UNAIDS and WHO estimates for adult HIV prevalence, adults and children living
with HIV, and children orphaned by AIDS for 2007 are, for
the most part, less marked than estimates published in
previous reports. Figures published in this report are not
comparable to previous estimates and therefore do not reflect trends over time. UNAIDS has published comparable
estimates by applying the new methods to earlier HIV and
AIDS estimates, which can be accessed at
<www.unaids.org>.
Table 5. Education:
Survival rate to the last grade of primary school: The
survival rate to Grade 5 (percentage of primary school
entrants reaching Grade 5) was replaced in 2008 by the
survival rate to the last grade of primary school (percentage of children entering the first grade of primary school

who are expected to reach the last grade). The survival
rate to the last grade replaced the survival rate to Grade 5
and became an official indicator for Millennium Development Goal 2 (universal primary education) in January
2008.
Table 6. Demographics:
Population annual growth rate and average annual
growth rate of urban population: These indicators have
been expanded to include data for 1990–2000.
Table 7. Economics:
Proportion of the population living below US$1.25 per day:
In 2008, the World Bank announced a new poverty line that
is based on revised estimates of purchasing power parity
(PPP) price levels around the world. Table 7 reflects this
updated poverty line and reports on the proportion of the
population living below US$1.25 per day at 2005 prices,
adjusted for purchasing power parity. The new poverty
threshold reflects revisions to PPP exchange rates based on
the results of the 2005 International Comparison Program.
The revisions reveal that the cost of living is higher across
the developing world than previously estimated. As a
result of these revisions, poverty rates for individual
countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported
in previous editions. More detailed information on the
definition, methodology and sources is available at
<www.worldbank.org>.
Table 9. Child Protection:
For the first time, the Child Protection Table includes all
countries and territories.
Female genital mutilation/cutting: The table reflects the
total only and does not disaggregate this indicator by
urban-rural incidence as in previous editions.
Child disability: Data on child disability are derived from
household surveys, and the indicator is defined as the
proportion of children 2–9 years old who screened positive
for at least one type of disability (e.g., cognitive, motor,
seizure, vision or hearing). Questions on child disability
are addressed to the parent or caregiver of the child, who
is asked to provide a personal assessment of the child’s
physical and mental development and functioning. Prior
to June 2008, the estimates were calculated based on 9 of
the 10 MICS questions on disability; since then, the data
have been based on a greater number of questions.
Explanation of symbols
Because the aim of these statistical tables is to provide a broad picture of the situation of children and women
worldwide, detailed data qualifications and footnotes are seen as more appropriate for inclusion elsewhere.
Sources and years for specific data points included in the statistical tables are available at <www.childinfo.org>.
Symbols specific to a particular table are included in the table footnotes. The following symbols are common across
all tables:
– Data are not available.
x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition
or refer to only part of a country. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
y Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition
or refer to only part of a country. Such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
* Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading.
§ Includes territories as well as countries within each category or regional group. Countries and territories in each
country category or regional group are listed on page 44.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
MAIN DATA SOURCES
Under-five mortality rate – Probability of dying between birth and exactly five years of age,
expressed per 1,000 live births.
Under-five and infant mortality rates – Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation
(UNICEF, World Health Organization, United Nations Population Division and the World Bank).
Infant mortality rate – Probability of dying between birth and exactly one year of age, expressed
per 1,000 live births.
Neonatal mortality rate – World Health Organization, using vital registration systems and
household surveys.
Neonatal mortality rate – Probability of dying during the first 28 completed days of life, expressed
per 1,000 live births.
Total population – United Nations Population Division.
GNI per capita – Gross national income (GNI) is the sum of value added by all resident producers,
plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output, plus net receipts of
primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI per capita is
gross national income divided by midyear population. GNI per capita in US dollars is converted
using the World Bank Atlas method.
Births – United Nations Population Division.
Under-five deaths – UNICEF.
GNI per capita – World Bank.
Life expectancy – United Nations Population Division.
Life expectancy at birth – Number of years newborn children would live if subject to the mortality
risks prevailing for the cross section of population at the time of their birth.
Adult literacy – UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), including the Education for All 2000
Assessment.
Adult literacy rate – Number of literate persons aged 15 and above, expressed as a percentage of
the total population in that age group.
School enrolment/attendance – UIS, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and Demographic
and Health Surveys (DHS).
Primary school net enrolment/attendance ratios – Number of children enrolled in or attending
primary school, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of primary school age.
The indicator is either the primary school net enrolment ratio or the primary school net attendance
ratio. In general, if both indicators are available, the primary school net enrolment ratio is
preferred unless the data for primary school attendance is considered to be of superior quality.
Definitions for both the primary school net enrolment ratio and the primary school net attendance
ratio are given on page 27.
Household income – World Bank.
Income share – Percentage of income received by the 20 per cent of households with the highest
income and by the 40 per cent of households with the lowest income.
NOTES
a: low income ($975 or less).
b: lower-middle income ($976 to $3,855).
c: upper-middle income ($3,856 to $11,905).
d: high income ($11,906 or more).
– Data not available.
x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition
or refer to only part of a country. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
s National household survey data.
* Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading.
# For a complete list of countries and territories in the regions and subregions, see page 44.

MAIN DATA SOURCES
DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Government funding of vaccines – Percentage of vaccines that are routinely administered in a country to protect children and are financed by the national government (including loans).
EPI – Expanded programme on immunization: The immunizations in this programme include those against tuberculosis (TB); diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus (DPT); polio;
and measles, as well as vaccination of pregnant women to protect babies against neonatal tetanus. Other vaccines, e.g., against hepatitis B (HepB), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) or
yellow fever, may be included in the programme in some countries.
Use of improved drinking-water sources
and improved sanitation facilities –
UNICEF and World Health Organization
(WHO), Joint Monitoring Programme.
BCG – Percentage of infants who received bacille Calmette-Guérin (vaccine against tuberculosis).
Government funding of vaccines – UNICEF
and WHO.
DPT1 – Percentage of infants who received their first dose of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine.
Immunization – UNICEF and WHO.
DPT3 – Percentage of infants who received three doses of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine.
Suspected pneumonia – Demographic and
Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator
Cluster Surveys (MICS) and other national
household surveys.
HepB3 – Percentage of infants who received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine.
Hib3 – Percentage of infants who received three doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine.
% under-fives with suspected pneumonia taken to an appropriate health-care provider – Percentage of children (aged 0–4) with suspected pneumonia in the two weeks preceding
the survey who were taken to an appropriate health-care provider.
% under-fives with suspected pneumonia receiving antibiotics – Percentage of children (aged 0–4) with suspected pneumonia in the two weeks preceding the survey who are
receiving antibiotics.
Oral rehydration therapy and continued
feeding – DHS, MICS and other national
household surveys.
Malaria prevention and treatment – DHS,
MICS and malaria indicator surveys.
% under-fives with diarrhoea receiving oral rehydration and continued feeding – Percentage of children (aged 0–4) with diarrhoea in the two weeks preceding the survey who
received oral rehydration therapy (a packet of oral rehydration salts, recommended home-made fluids or increased fluids) and continued feeding.
Malaria:
% households owning at least one ITN – Percentage of households with at least one insecticide-treated net.
% under-fives sleeping under ITNs – Percentage of children (aged 0–4) who slept under an insecticide-treated net the night prior to the survey.
% under-fives with fever receiving antimalarial drugs – Percentage of children (aged 0–4) who were ill with fever in the two weeks preceding the survey and received any antimalarial medicine.

Data not available.
Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
Coverage for DPT1 should be at least as high as DPT3. Discrepancies where DPT1 coverage is less than DPT3 reflect deficiencies in the data collection and reporting process. UNICEF and WHO are working with national and
territorial systems to eliminate these discrepancies.
WHO and UNICEF have employed a model to calculate the percentage of births that can be considered as protected against tetanus because pregnant women were given two doses or more of tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine.
The model aims to improve the accuracy of this indicator by capturing or including other potential scenarios where women might be protected (e.g., women who receive doses of TT in supplemental immunization activities).
A fuller explanation of the methodology can be found at <www.childinfo.org>.
Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading.
Excludes China.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Estimated adult HIV prevalence rate – Percentage of adults (aged 15–49) living with HIV as of 2007.
Estimated number of people (all ages) living with HIV – Estimated number of people (all ages) living with
HIV as of 2007.

Data not available.
Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. Such data are included in the calculation of
regional and global averages.
p Proportion of orphans (aged 10–14) attending school is based on small denominators (typically 25–49 unweighted cases).
h Regional data on HIV and orphans for 2008 are derived from the forthcoming 2009 AIDS Epidemic Update, which will be released in late 2009 by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV
and AIDS (UNAIDS). Please note that the corresponding country data are not revised in the Update, and therefore refer to the year 2007. These country data also correspond to the figures
published in The State of the World’s Children 2009, pages 130–133.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
MAIN DATA SOURCES
GNI per capita – Gross national income (GNI) is the sum of value added by all resident producers
plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of
primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI per capita is
gross national income divided by midyear population. GNI per capita in US dollars is converted
using the World Bank Atlas method.
GDP per capita – Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers
plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. GDP per capita is
gross domestic product divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price
GDP data in local currency.
GNI per capita – World Bank.
GDP per capita – World Bank.
Rate of inflation – World Bank.
% of population below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day – World Bank.
Expenditure on health, education and defence – International Monetary Fund (IMF).
ODA – Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Debt service – World Bank.
% of population below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day – Percentage of
population living on less than US$1.25 per day at 2005 prices, adjusted for purchasing power
parity. The new poverty threshold reflects revisions to purchasing power parity exchange rates
based on the results of the 2005 International Comparison Program. The revisions reveal that the
cost of living is higher across the developing world than previously estimated. As a result of these
revisions, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in
previous editions. More-detailed information on the definition, methodology and sources of the
data presented is available at <www.worldbank.org>.
ODA – Net official development assistance.
Debt service – Sum of interest payments and repayments of principal on external public and
publicly guaranteed long-term debts.
NOTES

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Life expectancy – Number of years newborn children would live if subject to the mortality risks prevailing for the cross
section of population at the time of their birth.
Adult literacy rate – Number of literate persons aged 15 and above, expressed as a percentage of the total population in
that age group.
MAIN DATA SOURCES
Life expectancy – United Nations Population Division.
Adult literacy – UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).
Primary and secondary school enrolment – UIS.
Enrolment and attendance ratios: females as a % of males – Girls’ net enrolment and attendance ratios divided by
those of boys, as a percentage.
Primary and secondary school attendance – Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)
and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).
Primary or secondary school net enrolment ratio – Number of children enrolled in primary or secondary school who
are of official primary or secondary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official
primary or secondary school age.
Contraceptive prevalence – DHS, MICS, United Nations Population Division and UNICEF.
Primary school net attendance ratio – Number of children attending primary or secondary school who are of official
primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age.
Secondary school net attendance ratio – Number of children attending secondary or tertiary school who are of official
secondary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official secondary school age.
Antenatal care coverage – DHS, MICS and other national household surveys.
Skilled attendant at birth – DHS, MICS, WHO and UNICEF.
Institutional delivery – DHS, MICS, WHO and UNICEF.
Maternal mortality – WHO and UNICEF.
Lifetime risk – WHO and UNICEF.
Contraceptive prevalence – Percentage of women in union aged 15–49 currently using contraception.
Antenatal care coverage – Percentage of women 15–49 years old attended at least once during pregnancy by skilled
health personnel (doctors, nurses or midwives) and the percentage attended by any provider at least four times.
Skilled attendant at birth – Percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel (doctors, nurses or midwives).
Institutional delivery – Proportion of women 15–49 years old who gave birth during the two years preceding the survey
and delivered in a health facility.
Maternal mortality ratio – Annual number of deaths of women from pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births.
The ‘reported’ column shows country-reported figures that are not adjusted for under-reporting and misclassification.
Lifetime risk of maternal death – Lifetime risk of maternal death takes into account both the probability of becoming
pregnant and the probability of dying as a result of that pregnancy accumulated across a woman’s reproductive years.

† The maternal mortality data in the column headed ‘reported’ are those reported
by national authorities. Periodically, UNICEF, WHO, UNFPA and the World Bank
evaluate these data and make adjustments to account for the well-documented
problems of under-reporting and misclassification of maternal deaths and to
develop estimates for countries with no data. The column with ‘adjusted’
estimates for the year 2005 reflects the most recent of these reviews.
Data not available.
Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country.
Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Child labour – Percentage of children 5–14 years old involved in child labour at the moment of the survey. A child is considered to be
involved in child labour under the following conditions: (a) children 5–11 years old who, during the week preceding the survey, did at least
one hour of economic activity or at least 28 hours of household chores, or (b) children 12–14 years old who, during the week preceding the
survey, did at least 14 hours of economic activity or at least 28 hours of household chores.
MAIN DATA SOURCES
Child labour – Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS),
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and other national
surveys.
Child marriage – MICS, DHS and other national surveys.
Child labour background variables – Sex of the child; urban or rural place of residence; poorest 20 per cent or richest 20 per cent of the
population constructed from household assets (a more detailed description of the household wealth estimation procedure can be found at
<www.childinfo.org>); mother’s education, reflecting mothers with and without some level of education.
Birth registration – MICS, DHS, other national surveys and
vital registration systems.
Child marriage – Percentage of women 20–24 years old who were married or in union before they were 18 years old.
Female genital mutilation/cutting – MICS, DHS and other
national surveys.
Birth registration – Percentage of children less than five years old who were registered at the moment of the survey. The numerator of this
indicator includes children whose birth certificate was seen by the interviewer or whose mother or caretaker says the birth has been
registered.
Attitudes towards domestic violence – MICS, DHS and
other national surveys.
Female genital mutilation/cutting – (a) Women – the percentage of women 15–49 years old who have been mutilated/cut. (b) Daughters
– the percentage of women 15–49 years old with at least one mutilated/cut daughter.

beating his wife for at least one of the specified reasons. Women were asked whether a husband is justified in hitting or beating his wife
under a series of circumstances, i.e., if his wife burns the food, argues with him, goes out without telling him, neglects the children or
refuses sexual relations.
Child disability – Percentage of children 2–9 years old who screen positive to at least one of the questions on disability.

STATISTICAL TABLES
Summary indicators
Averages presented at the end of each of
the 10 statistical tables are calculated using
data from the countries and territories as
classified below.
UNICEF REGIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa; North Africa (Algeria, Egypt,
Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Morocco, Tunisia)
UPDATES OF UNICEF REGIONAL AND
COUNTRY CLASSIFICATIONS
Beginning with this special edition of
The State of the World’s Children, UNICEF
reports statistical indicators for two
continents – Africa and Asia – as well
for regional and country groupings.
Sub-Saharan Africa
Eastern and Southern Africa; West and
Central Africa; Djibouti and the Sudan
Africa includes all countries and territories
of Eastern and Southern Africa, and West
and Central Africa, and the following
countries and territories of the Middle East
and North Africa: Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt,
the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Morocco,
the Sudan and Tunisia.
Sub-Saharan Africa now includes Djibouti
and the Sudan, as well as all the countries
and territories of Eastern and Southern
African, and West and Central Africa. As a
consequence of these changes, regional
estimates for sub-Saharan Africa published
in previous editions of The State of the
World’s Children are not strictly comparable
with those published in this issue.
Asia includes all countries and territories of
South Asia, and East Asia and the Pacific.
Industrialized countries/territories are
defined as those countries and territories
that are not included in the UNICEF Regional
Classification.
Developing countries/territories are
classified as such for purposes of statistical
analysis only because there is no established
convention for the designation of ‘developed’
and ‘developing’ countries or areas in the
United Nations system.
Least developed countries/territories are
those countries and territories classified as
such by the United Nations.

If development is to be measured by a
comprehensive and inclusive assessment,
it is also necessary to appraise human as
well as economic progress. From UNICEF’s
point of view, there is a need for an agreed
method of measuring the level of child
well-being and its rate of change.
The under-five mortality rate (U5MR) is used
in Table 10 (pages 46–49) as the principal
indicator of such progress. In 2008, the
estimated number of children who died
before their fifth birthday stood at 8.8 million.
In 1970, by comparison, around 17 million
children were dying every year – highlighting
a significant long-term decline in the global
number of under-five deaths.
The under-five mortality rate has several
advantages as a gauge of child well-being.
•
First, the U5MR measures an end result
of the development process rather than
an ‘input’ such as school enrolment level,
per capita calorie availability or number
of doctors per thousand population – all
of which are means to an end.
•
Second, the U5MR is known to be the
result of a wide variety of inputs: for
example, antibiotics to treat pneumonia;
insecticide-treated mosquito nets to
prevent malaria; the nutritional wellbeing and health knowledge of mothers;
the level of immunization and oral
rehydration therapy use; the availability
of maternal and child health services,
including antenatal care; income and
food availability in the family; the
availability of safe drinking water and
basic sanitation; and the overall safety
of the child’s environment.
•
Third, the U5MR is less susceptible to the
fallacy of the average than, for example,
per capita gross national income (GNI).
This is because the natural scale does
not allow the children of the rich to be
one thousand times more likely to survive,
even if the human-made scale does
permit them to have one thousand times
as much income. In other words, it is
much more difficult for a wealthy minority
to affect a nation’s U5MR, and it therefore
presents a more accurate, if far from
perfect, picture of the health status of
the majority of children and of society
as a whole.
The speed of progress in reducing the
under-five mortality rate can be assessed
by calculating its average annual rate of
reduction (AARR). Unlike the comparison
of absolute changes, the AARR reflects
the fact that the lower limits to U5MR are
approached only with increasing difficulty.
As lower levels of under-five mortality are
reached, for example, the same absolute
reduction represents a greater percentage
reduction. The AARR therefore shows a
higher rate of progress for a 10-point
reduction, for example, if that reduction
happens at a lower level of under-five
mortality. A 10-point decrease in the underfive mortality rate from 100 to 90 represents a
reduction of 10 per cent, whereas the same
10-point decrease from 20 to 10 represents a
reduction of 50 per cent. (A negative value
for the percentage reduction indicates an
increase in the U5MR during the period
specified.)
When used in conjunction with gross
domestic product (GDP) growth rates, the
U5MR and its rate of reduction can therefore
give a picture of the progress being made by
any country, territory or region, and over any
period of time, towards the satisfaction of
some of the most essential of human needs.
As Table 10 shows, there is no fixed
relationship between the annual reduction
rate of the U5MR and the annual rate of
growth in per capita GDP. Such comparisons
help shed light on the relationship between
economic advances and human
development.
Finally, the table gives the total fertility
rate for each country and territory and the
corresponding average annual rate of
reduction. It is clear that many of the nations
that have achieved significant reductions
in their U5MR have also achieved significant
reductions in fertility.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
MAIN DATA SOURCES
Under-five mortality rate – Probability of dying between birth and exactly five years of age,
expressed per 1,000 live births.
Under-five mortality rate – Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, World
Health Organization, United Nations Population Division and the World Bank).
Reduction since 1990 (%) – Percentage reduction in the under-five mortality rate (U5MR)
from 1990 to 2008. The United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000 established a goal of a
two-thirds (67 per cent) reduction in U5MR from 1990 to 2015. This indicator provides a current
assessment of progress towards this goal.
GDP per capita – World Bank.
Fertility – United Nations Population Division.
GDP per capita – Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers
plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. GDP per capita is
gross domestic product divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price
GDP data in local currency.
Total fertility rate – Number of children who would be born per woman if she lived to the end of
her childbearing years and bore children at each age in accordance with prevailing age-specific
fertility rates.

STATISTICAL TABLES
49
On 20 November 2009, the global community celebrates the 20th anniversary
of the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the Convention on the
Rights of the Child, the unique document that sets international standards for the
care, treatment and protection of all individuals below age 18. To celebrate this
landmark, the United Nations Children’s Fund is dedicating a special edition of
its flagship report The State of the World’s Children to examining the Convention’s
evolution, progress achieved on child rights, challenges remaining, and actions to
be taken to ensure that its promise becomes a reality for all children.
