In the parish of Mouy, north of Paris, there were 47 burials recorded in 1693; in 1694, the number jumped to an appalling 262. This is a dramatic example of life during Phase 1 of the demographic transition (albeit a somewhat modern one compared to the 50,000 years of human existence that preceded Phase 1). A rise in the price of grains meant more people could not afford food, a situation that nearly always led to excessive mortality, as happened in Mouy. In Phase 2 of the transition—roughly the beginning of the Industrial Revolution—death rates began to fall more regularly, although the preference for larger families may have remained for a time. Next, increasing urbanization lessened the need for children even as early public health measures improved life spans. Now the transition was really underway. By the 20th century, the development of modern medicine and the desire to limit family size combined to cause the low death rates and very low birth rates we see today. That, at least, is what happened over the centuries in Europe and North America. Most developing countries arrived in the 20th century still in the first phase of the transition. In the aftermath of World War II, however, the benefits of public health and modern medicine became available to them in a comparatively short period of time. Mortality fell with unusual rapidity but the desire for large families remained. Then, with mounting concern over record rates of population growth, birth rates did begin to fall in many countries. Today, we can find examples around the world of all four stages of the transition.

Wrigley, Population and History (New York: McGraw Hill, 1969). The World Is in the Midst of Its Most Rapid Population Growth in History. Today, the world is adding the largest numbers to its population than in any time in history. Despite the fact that the annual population growth rate has declined to 1.2 percent per year, world population grows by about 83 million annually. If the same growth rate had applied in 1950, only 30 million people annually would have been added to the world total. While declines in birth rates have been virtually universal across countries, the pattern of decline has been very variable. In some countries, birth rates have fallen below two children; birth rates in other countries have decreased to medium levels or have barely begun to decrease. Population projections assume that birth rates in developing countries will decline—smoothly—to two children or fewer (this PRB data sheet incorporates that assumption). Both the sixth billion and seventh billion were reached in the same number of years: First a record 12. The eighth All of Human History (ca. 1800) Billion billion may also take 12 years but only if birth Second 130 Years (1930) rates decline according to 30 Years (1960) Third projections.

Total population in the United States increased by almost 10 percent between 2000 and 2010, but growth patterns varied widely across counties. About one-fourth of counties grew faster than the national average, with one-tenth increasing by 20 percent or more. Population continued to increase fastest in states in the South and the West, but even within high-growth states like Texas, some counties still lost population over this decade. Although Michigan was the only state whose population declined between 2000 and 2010, more than half of the counties in Michigan still grew over this period. Areas with the fastest growth included the suburbs of metropolitan areas such as Orlando, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Washington, D.C., and the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. As in previous decades, many rural areas lost population, including much of the Great Plains and northern and central Appalachia. Nearly half of the 1,104 counties that lost population during the decade were isolated from metropolitan areas. Parts of Louisiana that were hard hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ranked among the counties with the fastest rate of population decline between 2000 and 2010.

Since the mid-1960s, the youth population (ages 15 to 24) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has grown rapidly. But because of the steady decline in fertility in many countries in recent years, the size of the youth population will grow at a much slower pace in the coming decades. For example, the youth population in Yemen nearly doubled between 1995 and 2010, but is projected to increase by only 38 percent between 2010 96 and 2025. MENA countries, Yemen 38 however, differ substantially 67 in the pace of their fertility Palestinian Territory 35 declines, and some countries 66 Saudi Arabia will even experience declines 15 in their youth populations in 44 Sudan coming decades. For example, 38 Iran’s youth population grew 43 Iraq by 34 percent between 1995 56 and 2010, but is projected to 38 Jordan 14 decline by 30 percent between 2010 and 2025. 35 Syria 20 Iran 34 -30 Egypt Algeria 22 -11 Morocco 13 -8 Tunisia 13 -18 Lebanon 12 -15 Turkey 1995-2010 2010-2025 33 8 9 -2 1 Libya S OURCE : United Nations Population Division, World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision (2011). 21 Poverty Remains a Significant Problem Worldwide. Poverty has emerged as a serious global issue, particularly because the most rapid population growth is occurring in the world’s poorest countries and, within many countries, in the poorest states and provinces. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, eight in 10 residents live on less than US$2 per day. In India, 76 percent of the population lives below that level—more than 900 million people. Relatively high population growth rates make it more difficult to lift large numbers of people out of poverty. Percent Living Below US$2 per Day Congo, Dem.

All rights reserved. 2011 WORLD POPULATION DATA SHEET 13 Acknowledgments, Notes, Sources, and Definitions ACKNOWLEDGMENTS SOURCES The authors gratefully acknowledge the valuable assistance of PRB staff members Kristen Devlin, Donna Clifton, Lisa Aronson, Dorothy Wei, 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 (IDEA Project, No. AID-0AA-A-10-00009), and supporters. The contents are the responsibility of the Population Reference Bureau and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States government. The rates and figures are primarily compiled from the following sources: official country statistical yearbooks, bulletins, and websites; United Nations Demographic Yearbook, 2008 of the UN Statistics Division; World Population Prospects: The 2010 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 2011 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 2010 or 2009. 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 threequarters 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 from UN and U.S. Census Bureau publications and websites. © 2011 Population Reference Bureau DEFINITIONS Mid-2011 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, living with HIV/AIDS. Figures are from UNAIDS’ 2010 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic. Some regional averages were calculated by PRB. Contraceptive Use The percentage of currently married or “inunion” 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 national-level 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 2011. For more developed countries, data refer to some point in the 1990s and early 2000s. Data for less developed countries are primarily from a point in the mid-2000s. Data prior to 2005 are shown in italics. GNI PPP per Capita, 2009 (US$) GNI PPP per capita is gross national income in purchasing power parity (PPP) divided by mid-year 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 2007 or 2008. Percent of Population Below $US2 per Day Population below $US2 purchasing power parity (PPP) a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $2 a day at 2005 international prices. Data prior to 2000 are in italics. Data are from the World Bank (http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ SI.POV.2DAY). Percent of Population With Access to Improved Water Supply Estimates are from the World Health Organization and UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (www.wssinfo.org/data-estimates/table/). An improved drinking-water source is defined as one that, by nature of its construction or through active intervention, is protected from outside contamination.

INFORM EMPOWER ADVANCE PRB informs people around the world 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. Frequently, people have information but lack the tools needed to communicate effectively to decisionmakers. PRB builds coalitions and conducts trainings to share techniques to inform policy. 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 to inform policymaking. 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. INNOVATIVE TOOLS. PRB’s updated and expanded DataFinder is a searchable database of population, health, and environment variables for all countries of the world. A separate U.S. database includes social, economic, and demographic variables for each state and the District of Columbia. INFLUENTIAL REPORTS. The World’s Women and Girls 2011 Data Sheet has the latest data on a wide variety of indicators on the socioeconomic status of women and girls in more than 180 countries, with a focus on demography, reproductive health, education, work, and public life. 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, aging, and child well-being. ONLINE RESOURCES. PRB’s website offers full text of all PRB publications, including our respected Population Bulletins, and data and analysis on world issues ranging from gender to family planning to population basics. JOURNALIST NETWORKS. PRB builds the capacity of journalists from developing countries through seminars and study tours. Each year, we organize several study tours for journalists throughout Africa to visit projects and the people they affect. POLICY COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING. In the past decade, PRB has trained more than 800 professionals in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. For example, in 2010 we sponsored two workshops with Kenya’s National Coordinating Agency for Population and Development, training local and regional policymakers, program managers, and advocates. DATA WORKSHOPS. PRB’s data workshops and online training assist the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s KIDS COUNT network in using data about the status of children in the United States. Participants take away the knowledge needed to access data about their particular state and communicate with policymakers. 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. The Data Book has helped promote the passage of several U.S. policies, including the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. DEMAND FOR HEALTH SERVICES. Articles written as part of a media training effort in child marriage in Senegal led to the Vice President of the National Assembly’s call for a study to understand and address this common and harmful practice. ACTIVE COALITIONS. PRB works with the East Africa Population, Health, and Environment Network to increase information sharing across the region. The AFRICAPHE online discussion group improves access to information and capacity-building and funding opportunities.
