The De partment of Econom ic an d Soci al Affa irs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.
Note The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The term “country” as used in this publication also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas. The designations “developed” and “developing” regions are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgement about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process.

Preface This World Statistics Pocketbook is the twenty-seventh compilation of basic economic, environmental, and social indicators for countries and areas of the world, prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs. It responds to General Assembly resolution 2626 (XXV), in which the Secretary-General is requested to supply basic national data that will increase international public awareness of countries' development efforts. The indicators shown are selected from the wealth of international statistical information compiled regularly by the Statistics Division and Population Division of the United Nations, and the statistical services of the United Nations specialized agencies and of other international organizations and institutions. This issue of the World Statistics Pocketbook covers the years 2000 and 2006. The statistics included for each year shown are those most recently compiled and made available by the international statistical services from official national sources, supplemented by international estimates in some fields. Statistical sources and methods are described in the section Technical notes (see page 219), in the Data dictionary (see page 228) and in footnotes. Statistics presented are the latest available to the United Nations Statistics Division as of December 2007.
Introduction Considerable progress has been made in the last four decades towards standardization of statistical definitions worldwide, for example in the wide scope of topics covered by the 1968 and 1993 versions of the System of National Accounts 1 , the United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses2 and the recommendations on statistics of the International Labour Organization among many. The internationally recommended definitions used in the present publication are given in the Data dictionary, beginning on page 228, with citations to the original sources. In addition, the section Technical notes, beginning on page 219, contains information on the sources for the indicators presented here. In general, brief descriptions of the concepts and methodologies used in the compilation of the indicators are also included. Readers interested in more detailed time-series and data should consult the References and Sources at the back of this publication. The World Statistics Pocketbook is prepared by the Statistical Services Branch of the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. The editor is Andrei Barac. Salomon Cameo is the software developer. They are assisted by Paul Narain. Comments on this publication are welcome and may be sent to

Technical notes Geographical coverage The geographical designations, units employed and presentation of the material in this publication has been adopted solely for the purpose of providing a convenient geographical basis for the statistical series. Because of space limitations, the country and area names used in the tables are generally the commonly employed short names in use in the United Nations, the full names being used only when a short form is not available. Countries or areas are listed in English alphabetical order. Notes on the indicators Terms given below in italics are arranged in alphabetical order and are defined in the Data dictionary, which begins on page 228. Agricultural production index covers all crops and livestock products. The data were taken from the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations at http://faostat.fao.org/site/601/DesktopDefault.aspx? PageID=601 (last accessed 18 January 2008). They are also published in the FAO Statistical Yearbook [2]. Average minimum and maximum temperatures are measurements from the weather stations in the largest urban agglomeration or city, unless otherwise footnoted. The data are from the website of the World Meteorological Organization [25], at http://www.worldweather.org/. See also largest urban agglomeration. Balance of payments, current account: The data were taken from the International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics [6] website at http://www.imfstatistics.org/imf/ (last accessed 12 November 07). CO2 emissions estimates represent the volume of CO2 produced during the combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, from gas flaring and the manufacture of cement. These estimates do not include bunker fuels used in international transportation due to the difficulty of apportioning these fuels among the countries benefiting from that transport. These estimates are from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory [1], United States of America, http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/trends/emis/tre_coun.htm. Relative to other industrial sources for which CO2 emissions are calculated, statistics on gas flaring activities are sparse and sporadic and 219
in countries where gas flaring activities account for a considerable proportion of the total CO2 emission, the sporadic nature of gas flaring statistics may produce spurious or misleading trends in national CO2 emissions. The data are also published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook [17]. CO2 emissions per capita figures are obtained by dividing total emissions of carbon dioxide by the population for a particular country and year. Consumer price index numbers were taken from the LABORSTA, an International Labour Organization database, table B9 Consumer prices, general indices, at http://laborsta.ilo.org (last accessed 4 January 2008). They are designed to show changes over time in the cost of selected goods and services that are considered as representative of the consumption habits of the population concerned. Unless otherwise specified, the indices here generally refer to “all items” and to the country as a whole. Contraceptive use refers to the percentage use of any contraception method by currently married women of child-bearing age (most data refer to the 15-49 age group). The data are from World Contraceptive Use 2007, database maintained by the United Nations Population Division. The data contain the most recent estimates of contraceptive prevalence available as of 25 September 2007. Countries with no data for 1985 or earlier are not included. Estimates of contraceptive prevalence were compiled from surveys of nationally representative samples of women of reproductive age. Currency shows the national currency name and the ISO currency code. Data were taken from the United Nations website at http://www.un.org/Depts/treasury/2007.xls. Employment in industrial and agricultural sectors refers to the population above a specified age who perform any work at all, in the reference period, for pay or profit in industry (mining, manufacturing and electricity, gas and water) and agriculture. These include persons who are temporarily absent from a job, for such reasons as illness, maternity or parental leave, holiday, training or industrial dispute. These percentages in which employment in the sector is the numerator and total employment the denominator are published in the Key Indicators of the Labour Market prepared by the International Labour Organization [4]. Energy consumption refers to “apparent consumption”, which is derived from the formula “production + imports - exports bunkers +/- stock changes”. Accordingly the series may in some cases represent only an indication of the magnitude of actual inland availability. The data were obtained from the Energy Statistics Database of the United Nations Statistics Division. 220
They are published in the Energy Statistics Yearbook [10]. Exchange rates are shown in units of national currency per US dollar and refer to end-of-period quotations. Unless otherwise stated, the data refer to the midpoint market rates (average of buying and selling rates). The data were taken from the International Monetary Fund [6], International Financial Statistics website at http://www.imfstatistics.org/imf/ (last accessed 9 November 07). For those currencies for which the IMF does not publish exchange rates, non-commercial rates derived from the operational rates of exchange for United Nations programmes are shown, as published by the United Nations at http://www.un.org/Depts/treasury/2007.xls. Food production index covers commodities that are considered edible and contain nutrients. (Coffee and tea are therefore excluded because they have practically no nutritional value). The index numbers shown may differ from those produced by countries themselves because of differences in concepts of production, coverage, weights, time reference of data, and methods of evaluation. The data include estimates made by FAO in cases where no official or semi-official figures are available from the countries. The data were taken from the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, at http://faostat.fao.org/site/601/DesktopDefault.aspx? PageID=601 (last accessed 18 January 2008). Foreign born population refers to persons born outside the country or area in which they are enumerated. The country or area of birth is based on the national boundaries existing at the time of census. The data are from the United Nations Population Division’s International Migration 2006 [13]. Forested area data were taken from the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Extent of forest and other wooded land 2005, at http://www.fao.org/forestry/site/32032/en/ (last accessed 25 January 2008). The data are published by the FAO in the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005 [3]. Government education expenditure data were taken from UNESCO Institute for Statistics [21] website, Table 19: Finance Indicators by ISCED level, at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/ TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportId=172 (last accessed 10 September 2007). They show the general trends in public expenditure on public education expressed as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product. The data shown should be considered as approximate indications of the public resources allocated to education. Gross domestic product total in current United States dollars are estimates of the total production of goods and services of the 221
countries represented in economic terms, not as a measure of the standard of living of their inhabitants. In order to have comparable coverage for as many countries as possible, these US dollar estimates are based on official GDP national currency data, supplemented by national currency estimates prepared by the Statistics Division using additional data from national and international sources. The estimates given here are in most cases those accepted by the United Nations General Assembly Committee on Contributions for determining United Nations members’ contributions to the United Nations regular budget. The exchange rates for the conversion of GDP national currency data into United States dollars are the average market rates published by the International Monetary Fund [6] in its monthly publication International Financial Statistics. Official exchange rates are used only when free market rates are not available. For non-members of the Fund, the conversion rates used are the average of United Nations operational rates of exchange. It should be noted that the conversion from local currency into US dollars introduces deficiencies in comparability over time and among countries which should be considered when using the data. For example, comparability over time is distorted when exchange rate fluctuations differ substantially from domestic inflation rates. These series are published in the National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates [15]. Gross domestic product per capita estimates are the value of all goods and services produced in the economy divided by population. These estimates are also published in the National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates [15]. Gross fixed capital formation data are based on the percentage distribution of GDP in current prices. The data are from the National Accounts Database (data as of August 2007) compiled from national data provided to the United Nations Statistics Division and are published in the National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates [15]. Data in national currency are published in National Accounts Statistics: Main Aggregates and Detailed Tables [16]. Gross national income (GNI) per capita estimates are the aggregate value of the gross balances of primary incomes for all sectors in the economy divided by population. These estimates are published in the National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates [15]. Industrial production index shown here generally covers mining, manufacturing and electricity, gas and water. It does not include construction unless otherwise indicated. The data are from table 5 of the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics [14], July 2007. 222
Infant mortality rates are five-year projected averages for the period 2005-2010. Data are from http://unstats.un.org/unsd/ demographic/products/socind/health.htm. See also social indicators. Intentional homicides refer to death purposely inflicted by another person per 100,000 population. Data are from the United Nations Demographic Yearbook 2004 [9], Table 21, Death and death rates by cause, under Accidents, assaults. Internet users per 100 inhabitants are based on nationally reported data for users divided by the total population and then multiplied by 100. There are variations in data collection among countries: some use surveys that give a more precise figure for the number of Internet users, while others base their estimates on derivations from reported Internet Service Provider subscriber counts, calculated by multiplying the number of subscribers by a multiplier. Surveys may differ across countries in the user age and frequency of use they cover. Some figures may refer to only users above a certain age. The data are from the World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators database of the International Telecommunication Union [8], at http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/icteye/Indicators/Indicators.aspx (last accessed 1 November 2007). Labour force participation rate for the adult population (15 years and over) refers to the total of employed persons (including employers, persons working on their own account, salaried employees and wage earners and, in so far as data are available, unpaid family workers) and of unemployed persons at the time of the census or survey which provided the data. In general, the economically active population does not include full-time students who are not working, persons occupied solely in household work, retired persons living entirely on their own means and persons wholly dependent upon others. The data are from the estimates and projections published in the Key Indicators of the Labour Market prepared by the International Labour Organization [4]. Largest urban agglomeration shows the population of the largest urban agglomeration (city plus contiguous built-up areas) or, if unavailable, largest city according to its administrative boundaries for each country or area. The data refer to 2005 and are from the Urban and Rural Areas 2005 of the World Urbanization Prospects: The 2005 Revision [20]. See also http://www.un.org/esa/population/unpop.htm. Life expectancy at birth for men and women are the five-year projected averages for the period 2005-2010. Data are from: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/socind/health. htm. See also social indicators. 223
Major trading partners display the first three trade partners and data are expressed as percentages of total exports and of total imports of the country or area, as estimated by the United Nations Statistics Division from its Commodity Trade Statistics Database [11] (COMTRADE, see http://comtrade.un.org/db/default.aspx). These series are published in the United Nations International Trade Statistics Yearbook [12]. Motor vehicles in use data are calculated from data compiled from national statistical sources that are published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook [17]. Data refer to passenger cars and commercial vehicles in use according to census on registration figures for the year’s census or for the annual registration. Newspaper circulation data were taken from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics [21] website, Table Newspapers, data for Daily newspapers: Total average circulation per 1,000 inhabitants, at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/TableViewer/tableView.asp x?ReportId=398 (last accessed 5 November 2007). Parliamentary seats refer to the number of women and men in the lower and upper chamber of parliament expressed as a percentage of total. The data were taken from the Internet site of the Inter-Parliamentary Union [7]: http://www.ipu.org/wmne/classif.htm (last accessed 22 January 2008). These data are published in Women in National Parliaments. Population aged 0-14 years refers to the population aged 0-14 years of both sexes as a percentage of total population. Data are from: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/ socind/child&elderly.htm. See also social indicators. Population aged 60 years and over refers to elderly men as a percentage of all males and elderly women as a percentage of all females. Data are from: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/socind/child &elderly.htm. See also social indicators. Population annual growth rate is the average annual percentage change in total population size in the period 2005-2010. Data are from: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/ socind/population.htm. See also social indicators. Population density refers to population per square kilometre of surface area. Data are derived from the Population projections (medium variant) for 2007 of the World Population Prospects: The 2006 Revision [19] divided by the Surface Area as published in the table 3 of the United Nations Demographic Yearbook 2004 [9]. Population projections for 2007 were prepared by the United Nations Population Division and published in the World Population 224
Prospects: The 2006 Revision [19]. They are available at http://www.un.org/esa/population/unpop.htm. Precipitation data are measurements from the weather stations in the largest urban agglomeration or city, unless otherwise footnoted. The data are from the World Meteorological Organization [25], http://www.worldweather.org/. See also largest urban agglomeration. Primary energy production refers to the first stage of production of various forms of energy, converted into a common unit (metric ton of oil equivalent). The data are from the Energy Statistics Database of the United Nations Statistics Division. They are published in the Energy Statistics Yearbook [10]. Primary-secondary gross enrolment ratios are from the website of the UNESCO Institute of Statistics [21], Table 5 Enrolment ratios by ISCED level, at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/ TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportId=182 (last accessed 14 September 2007). The enrolment ratio generally is the total enrolment of all ages in first- and second-level education, divided by the total population in the official ages of enrolment in the country times 100. The gross enrolment ratio at the first and second level should include all pupils whatever their ages, whereas the population is limited to the range of official school ages. Therefore, for countries with almost universal education among the school-age population, the gross enrolment ratio will exceed 100 if the actual age distribution of pupils extends beyond the official school ages. Refugee in this series refers to persons granted a humanitarian status and/or those granted temporary protection. It includes persons, who have been granted temporary protection on a group basis. The series also includes returned refugees, asylum seekers and persons displaced internally within their own country for reasons that would make them of concern to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) if they were outside their country of origin. The data are from 2006 Global Trends, Table 1. Refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless persons, and others of concern to UNHCR [22]. See also http://www.unhcr.org/statistics/STATISTICS/4676a71d4.pdf. Region is given according to regional groupings of countries and areas based mainly on continents. The data are from Standard Country or Area Codes and Geographical Regions for Statistical Use, Revision 4 (United Nations publication), available at the Statistics Division website http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm). Sex ratio is calculated as the ratio of the number of men to that of women. Source is: 225

Total telephone subscribers per 100 inhabitants refer to the sum of main telephone lines and cellular mobile subscribers divided by the population and multiplied by 100. The data are from the World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators database of the International Telecommunication Union [8], at http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/icteye/Indicators/Indicators.aspx (last accessed 1 November 2007). Total Trade: exports and imports show the movement of goods out of and into a country as estimated by the United Nations Statistics Division in its Commodity Trade Statistics Database [11] (COMTRADE, see http://comtrade.un.org/db/default.aspx). These series are published in the United Nations International 226
Trade Statistics Yearbook [12]. Exports are generally valued at the frontier of the importing country (f.o.b. valuation). Imports are valued at the frontier of the importing country (c.i.f. valuation). Both imports and exports are shown in United States dollars. Conversion from national currencies is made by means of currency conversion factors based on official exchange rates (par values or weighted average exchange rates). Tourist arrivals data are those compiled by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). They are published in the UNWTO Yearbook of Tourism Statistics [23], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook [17]. Unemployment is defined to include persons above a certain age, usually 15 and above, who during a specified period of time were without work, currently available for work and seeking work. National definitions of unemployment often differ from the recommended international standard definitions and thereby limit international comparability. Inter-country comparisons are also complicated by the different types of data collection systems used to obtain information on unemployed persons. The data were taken from the LABORSTA, an International Labour Organization database, table B4, Unemployment, general level and table 3A, Unemployment, general level, at http://laborsta.ilo.org (last accessed 21 August 2007). Unless otherwise noted, these data are national employment office statistics, usually labour surveys, compiled by the ILO. Data are also published in ILO’sYearbook of Labour Statistics [5]. United Nations membership date is from the United Nations Terminology Bulletin, http://unterm.un.org/ and the List of Member States, http://www.un.org/Overview/unmember.html [18]. Urban population, urban population growth rate and rural population growth rate series are based on the number of persons defined as urban or rural according to national definitions of this concept. In most cases these definitions are those used in the most recent population census. These series are from World Urbanization Prospects: The 2005 Revision [20].

Data dictionary A age group: The age distribution of a population is given either by individual years of age or by age groups, which may be quinquennial age groups or quinary age groups, or broad age groups, such as 0-19 years, 20-59 years, and 60 years and over. Age is generally expressed in years, or years and months. Statisticians often round off the age to the number of complete years lived, and this is called age at last birthday. (United Nations, 1958, para. 322)*. agriculture (agriculture, hunting and related service activities): Comprises the following divisions of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 3.1: growing of crops, market gardening, horticulture; farming of animals; growing of crops combined with farming of animals (mixed farming); agricultural and animal husbandry service activities, except veterinary activities; hunting, trapping and game propagation, including related service activities; forestry, logging and related service activities; fishing, operation of fish hatcheries and fish farms; service activities incidental to fishing. (United Nations, 2002). agricultural production and food production indices: The indices of agricultural production of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are based on the sum of priceweighted quantities of different agricultural commodities produced. All the indices at the country, regional and world levels are calculated by the Laspeyres formula. Production quantities of each commodity are weighted by the average international commodity prices in the base period and summed for each year. To obtain the index, the aggregate for a given year is divided by the average aggregate for the base period. The commodities covered in the computation of indices of agricultural production are all crops and livestock products originating in each country. Practically all products are covered, with the main exception of fodder crops. The category of food production includes commodities that are considered edible and that contain nutrients. Accordingly, coffee and tea are excluded because they have practically no nutritive value. (FAO, 1995, p. ix). annual growth: See rate of change. area: See land and water area. B balance of payments: A statistical statement that systematically summarizes, for a specific time period, the economic *

transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. Transactions, for the most part between residents and nonresidents, consist of transactions involving goods, services and income; transactions involving financial claims on, and liabilities to, the rest of the world; and transactions (such as gifts) classified as transfers, which involve offsetting entries to balance—in an accounting sense— one-sided transactions (IMF, 1993, para. 13). See also current account. base period: The period of time for which data used as the base of an index number, or other ratio, have been collected. This period is frequently one year but it may be as short as one day or as long as the average of a group of years. (Kendall Buckland, 1982). base year: See base period. C CO2 emissions: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless, odourless and non-poisonous gas formed by combustion of carbon and in the respiration of living organisms and is considered a greenhouse gas. Emissions mean the release of greenhouse gases and/or their precursors into the atmosphere over a specified area and period of time. (United Nations, 1992 and 1996). commercial energy: Energy sold in the market. (United Nations, 1982, para. 55). consumer price index: Measures changes over time in the general level of prices of goods and services that a reference population acquires, uses or pays for consumption. A consumer price index is estimated as a series of summary measures of the period-to-period proportional change in the prices of a fixed set of consumer goods and services of constant quantity and characteristics, acquired, used or paid for by the reference population. Each summary measure is constructed as a weighted average of a large number of elementary aggregate indices. Each of the elementary aggregate indices is estimated using a sample of prices for a defined set of goods and services obtained in, or by residents of, a specific region from a given set of outlets or other sources of consumption goods and services. (ILO, 1988). contraception: In its narrow usage, measures excluding sterilization (and, in some discussions, permanent and periodic abstinence) which are taken in order to prevent sexual intercourse from resulting in conception. In broader usage, a contraceptive method is sometimes called a birth control method, which includes intentional abortion, sterilization and complete abstinence from coitus. (United Nations, 1958, para. 624). currency: Those notes and coins in circulation that are commonly used to make payments. Commemorative coins that are not 229
actually in circulation should be excluded. (United Nations and others, 1994, para. 11.70). current account: All balance of payments transactions (other than those in financial items) that involve economic values and occur between resident and non-resident entities. Also covered are offsets to current economic values provided or acquired without a quid pro quo. The major classifications of transaction flows cover goods and services, income and current transfers. (IMF, 1993, para. 152). D daily newspaper circulation: Daily newspapers are periodic publications, issued at least four times a week, intended for the general public and mainly designed to be a primary source of written information on current events connected with public affairs, international questions, politics etc. Circulation comprises the average number of copies sold directly, by subscription, and mainly distributed free of charge both in the country and abroad. (UNESCO, 1985). density of population: Number of population per unit of total land area of a country. (United Nations, n.d.). See also land and water area. E economically active population: (“usually active” or “currently active”) comprises all persons of either sex above a specified age who furnish the supply of labour for the production of economic goods and services (employed and unemployed, including those seeking work for the first time), as defined by the System of National Accounts (SNA), during a specified time reference period. The economically active population may be related to the total population for the derivation of the crude participation rate, or, more appropriately, to the population above the age prescribed for the measurement of the economically active population. Production includes all individual or collective goods or services that are supplied to units other than their producers, or intended to be so supplied, including the production of goods or services used up in the process of producing such goods or services; the own-account production of all goods that are retained by their producers for their own final consumption or gross capital formation; the own-account production of housing services by owner-occupiers and of domestic and personal services produced by employing paid domestic staff. Not economically active population comprises the balance of the population. (United Nations and others, 1994). 230
education expenditure: See government education expenditure. employment : The “employed” comprise all persons above a specified age who during a specified brief reference period not longer than one week, were in "paid employment” or in "selfemployment” as defined below. "Persons in paid employment” comprise all persons in the following categories: (a) "at work": persons who during the reference period performed some work for wages, salary or related payments, in cash or in kind; (b) "with a job but not at work": persons who, having already worked in their present job, were absent during the reference period and continued to have a strong attachment to their job. "Persons in self-employment” comprise all persons (a) "at work": persons who during the reference period performed some work for profit or family gain, in cash or in kind; (b) "with work but not at work": persons who during the reference period had work to be performed at the workplace but were temporarily absent due to illness or injury, vacation, holiday or ceremonies, bad weather or other similar reasons. Employers, own-account workers [other than those who were paid directly for services performed], members of producers' co-operatives, and unpaid family workers, irrespective of the number of hours worked, should be considered in self-employment and should be classified as "at work” or "not at work” as the case may be. (International Labour Organization (ILO). Current International Recommendations on Labour Statistics, 2000 Edition. Geneva, 2000 (pages 49-51). energy: Comprises primary energy from sources that involve only extraction or capture, with or without separation from contiguous material, cleaning or grading, before the energy embodied in that source can be converted into heat or mechanical work, and secondary energy from all sources of energy that results from transformation of primary sources. (United Nations, 1982, para. 29). energy consumption: Apparent consumption of energy comprises inland deliveries of energy commodities, which is equal to imports plus production minus changes in stocks minus exports. (United Nations, 1982, paras. 161-165). See also energy. enrolment ratio: See primary-secondary gross enrolment ratio. exchange rate: Price in a given currency at which bills drawn in another currency may be bought. (Oxford University Press, 1982). exports (merchandise): Goods leaving the statistical territory of a country. In the “general trade system”, the definition of the statistical territory of a country coincides with its economic territory. In the “special trade system”, the definition of the statistical territory comprises only a particular part of the 231
economic territory, mainly that part which coincides with the free circulation area for goods. “The free circulation area” is a part of the economic territory of a country within which goods “may be disposed of without Customs restrictions”. In the case of exports, the transaction value is the value at which the goods were sold by the exporter, including the cost of transportation and insurance, to bring the goods onto the transporting vehicle at the frontier of the exporting country (a FOB type valuation) (United Nations, M/52/Rev.2 and Series G). F food production index: See agricultural production and food production indices. foreign-born: Individuals not born in the territory in which they live (United Nations, 1958). forest and other wooded land: Land under natural or planted stands of trees, whether productive or not, including land from which forest has been cleared but which will be reforested in the foreseeable future, and including areas occupied by roads, small cleared tracts and other small open areas within the forest that constitute an integral part of the forest (FAO/United Nations ECE, 1995). G government education expenditure: General government expenditures for educational affairs and services at pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary levels and subsidiary services to education. Expenditures comprise final consumption expenditures, gross capital formation, subsidies and loans. General government comprises all central, state and local government units and non-profit institutions controlled and mainly financed by government units. (UNESCO, 1978). gross domestic product (GDP): An aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). The sum of the final uses of goods and services (all uses except intermediate consumption) measured in purchasers’ prices, less the value of imports of goods and services, or the sum of primary incomes distributed by resident producer units (42, paras. 1.128 and 2.173-2.174) (United Nations and others, 1993). gross fixed capital formation: The total value of a producer’s acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during the accounting period plus certain additions to the value of nonproduced assets realized by the productive activity of 232
institutional units. Fixed assets are tangible or intangible assets produced as outputs from processes of production that are themselves used repeatedly or continuously in other processes of production for more than one year. (United Nations and others, 1994, para. 10.33). gross national income (GNI): GNI is equal to GDP less primary incomes payable to non-resident units plus primary incomes receivable from non-resident units. In other words, GNI is equal to GDP less taxes (less subsidies) on production and imports, compensation of employees and property income payable to the rest of the world plus the corresponding items receivable from the rest of the world. Thus GNI at market prices is the sum of gross primary incomes receivable by resident institutional units/sectors. It is worth noting that GNI at market prices was called gross national product in the 1953 SNA, and it was commonly denominated GNP. In contrast to GDP, GNI is not a concept of value added, but a concept of income (primary income). (para. 2.181 of the 1993 System of National Accounts, SNA 1993) (United Nations and others). growth rate: See rate of change and rate of increase. H homicide purposely inflicted (assault): Deaths from homicide and injuries inflicted by another person with intent to injure or kill, by any means, excluding injuries due to legal intervention and operations of war. (WHO, 1992, X85-Y09). I imports (merchandise): Goods which add to the stock of material resources of a country by entering its economic territory. Goods simply being transported through a country (goods in transit) or temporarily admitted (except for goods for inward processing) do not add to the stock of material resources of a country and are not included in the international merchandise trade statistics. In many cases, a country’s economic territory largely coincides with its customs territory, which is the territory in which the customs law of a country applies in full. In the case of imports, the transaction value is the value at which the goods were purchased by the importer plus the cost of transportation and insurance to the frontier of the importing country (a CIF-type valuation). (United Nations, M/52/Rev.2 and Series G). industrial production index: Laspeyres’s index of total value-added in all industrial production, where value added is the value of output less the values of both intermediate consumption and consumption of fixed capital. (United Nations, Series P). See 233
also industry and Laspeyres’s index. infant mortality rate: Generally computed as the ratio of infant deaths (the deaths of children under one year of age) in a given year to the total number of live births in the same year. (United Nations, 1958, para. 411). inhabitants: Inhabitants of a State may be subjects, citizens or nationals of that State, who enjoy certain political rights, or they may be aliens or foreigners who are citizens of another State, or citizens of no State at all and are called stateless. (United Nations, 1958). See also population. L land and water area: Total land area comprises agricultural land, forest and other wooded land, built-up and related land (excluding scattered farm buildings), wet open land, dry open land with special vegetation cover and open land without, or with insignificant, vegetation cover. Water area comprises inland waters and tidal waters (United Nations, n.d.). Laspeyres’s index: A form of index number where prices, quantities or other units of measure over time are weighted according to their values in a specified base period (Kendall and Buckland, 1982). life expectancy at birth: Average number of years of life at birth (age 0) according to the expected mortality rates by age estimated for the reference year and population (United Nations, 1958, and Series R). long-term rate of change: See rate of change. M motor vehicles in use: Motor cars and other motor vehicles in operation, principally designed for the transport of persons and goods (United Nations, 1994, groups 781-783). N newspaper circulation: See daily newspaper circulation. O oil equivalent: A single average figure for the energy content of a specified quantity of oil (United Nations, 1982). P parliament: Legislative assembly of persons forming the supreme legislature of a country (Oxford University Press, 1982). partner countries: Countries of origin and purchase in international merchandise trade transactions (United Nations, 1994, para. 127). population: The total population of a country may comprise either all 234
usual residents of the country (de jure population) or all persons present in the country (de facto population) at the time of the census. For purposes of international comparisons, the de facto definition is recommended (United Nations, 1958, and Series R). population density: See density of population. precipitation: Quantity of rain, snow etc. falling to ground. Average annual normals over a long (multi-year) period (Oxford University Press, 1982; WMO, 1982). primary-secondary gross enrolment ratio: The total enrolment, regardless of age, divided by the population of the total age group defined in the national regulations for the first and second levels of education. Education at the first level provides the basic elements of education (e.g. at elementary school, primary school). Education at the second level is provided at middle school, secondary school, high school, teacher-training school at this level and schools of a vocational or technical nature. Enrolment is at the beginning of the school or academic year (UNESCO, 1978). R rate of change: The ratio of total change in a specified time reference period to the value at the beginning of the period or at a specified earlier time reference. When changes over a period of more than one calendar year are studied, the mean annual rate of change may be computed. (Adapted from United Nations, 1958). See also rate of increase. rate of increase (crude, of population): The ratio of total growth in a given period to the mean population of that period is called the crude rate of increase. When population increase over a period of more than one calendar year is studied, the mean annual rate of increase may be computed (United Nations, 1958). See also rate of change. refugee: Any person who, owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it. (United Nations, 1951, and 1967). region (geographical): Macro geographical regions arranged according to continents and component geographical regions used for statistical purposes by the Population Division and Statistics Division of the United Nations Secretariat. (United Nations, M/49/Rev.3). 235
rural population: Population which is not urban. See also urban population. S sex ratio: The ratio of the number of one sex to that of the other. (United Nations, 1958). surface area: See land and water area. T telephone lines (telephone main lines): A telephone main line connects the subscriber’s terminal equipment to the public switched network and has a dedicated port in the telephone exchange equipment (ITU, n.d., p. 9). temperature, average: Average annual normals over a long (multiyear) period (WMO, 1982). third-level students: Education provided at university, teachers’ college, higher professional school, which requires, as a minimum condition of admission, the successful completion of education at the second level, or evidence of the attainment of an equivalent level of knowledge. Enrolment is at the beginning of the school or academic year. (UNESCO, 1978). threatened species (animals): Species that have been assessed and found to meet one of the standard World Conservation Union status categories indicating threatened status: endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate (known to be endangered, vulnerable or rare but where there is not enough information to say which is appropriate), insufficiently known (suspected but not definitely known to belong to any of the above categories, because of lack of information) (World Conservation Union, 1994, p. 20). total fertility rate: The number of children that would be born per woman, assuming no female mortality at child bearing ages and the age-specific fertility rates of a specified country and reference period (United Nations, 1958, para. 634). tourist (international): Any person who travels to a country other than that in which s/he has his/her usual residence but outside his/her usual environment for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose of visit is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from with the country visited, and who stays at least one night in a collective or private accommodation in the country visited (United Nations and World Tourism Organization, 1994). trading partner: See partner countries. U unemployment: All persons who during a specified reference period 236
were: “without work”, that is, were not in paid employment as specified by the international definition of employment; “currently available for work”, that is, were available for paid employment or self-employment during the reference period; and “seeking work”, that is, had taken specific steps in a specified recent period to seek paid employment or selfemployment. In circumstances where employment opportunities are particularly limited and where persons not working do not have easy access to formal channels for seeking employment or face social and cultural barriers when looking for a job, the “seeking work” criterion should be relaxed (ILO, 1988). United Nations membership: The original Members of the United Nations are the States which, having participated in the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco, or having previously signed the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942, signed the Charter and ratified it in accordance with Article 110. Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving States which accept the obligations contained in the Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations. The admission of any such State to membership in the United Nations will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council (United Nations, 1945). Urban agglomeration: Comprises a city or town proper and also the suburban fringe or thickly settled territory lying outside, but adjacent to, its boundaries. A single large urban agglomeration may comprise several cities or towns and their suburban fringes (United Nations, 1998, para. 2.51). Urban population: Because of national differences in the characteristics that distinguish urban from rural areas, the distinction between urban and rural population is not amenable to a single definition that would be applicable to all countries. National definitions are most commonly based on size of locality (United Nations, 1998). V vehicles: See motor vehicles in use.
