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.

Preface This World Statistics Pocketbook is the twentysixth compilation of basic economic 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 SecretaryGeneral 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 generally 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”, in the “Data dictionary” and in footnotes. Statistics presented are in general the latest available to the United Nations Statistics Division as of December 2006. Readers wishing to consult more detailed statistics and descriptions of technical methods used in their collection and compilation are referred to the more specialized publications listed in the Introduction and in the reference lists at the end of this publication.

Introduction Considerable progress has been made in the last two 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 p. 227, with citations to the original sources. In addition, the section “Technical notes”, beginning on p. 217, contains short descriptions of the sources for the indicators presented here and the methodologies used in their compilation at national and international levels, and describe some of their limitations and differences from international standards. Readers interested in more detailed time-series and data should consult the following major publications: United Nations Statistical Yearbook United Nations publication, Series S [16]* Demographic Yearbook United Nations publication, Series R [10] National Accounts Statistics United Nations publication, Series X [14], [15] International Trade Statistics Yearbook United Nations publication, Series G [12] Energy Statistics Yearbook United Nations publication, Series J [11] Monthly Bulletin of Statistics United Nations publication, Series Q [13] World Population Prospects (biennial) United Nations publication [19]

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 titles in use in the United Nations, the full titles 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 italic are defined in the “Data dictionary”, which begins on p. 227. General indicators Region is given according to regional groupings of countries and areas based mainly on continents. This information is from Standard Country or Area Codes and Geographical Regions for Statistical Use, Revision 4 (United Nations publication, excerpted at the Statistics Division Internet site,
). Currency shows the national monetary unit and is from table 44 in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics.[13] Population projections for 2006 were prepared by the United Nations Population Division and published in World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision. They are available also at < http://esa.un.org/unpp/>.[19] Surface area (excluding polar regions and uninhabited islands) is from table 3 in the United Nations Demographic Yearbook.[10] Population density refers to population per square kilometre of surface area. This series is from table 3 in the United Nations Demographic Yearbook.[10] and World Population Prospects:The 2004 Revision. Largest urban agglomeration shows the population of the largest urban agglomeration (city plus contiguous 217
built-up areas) or, if unavailable, largest city according to its administrative boundaries for each country or area. This series is from Tables A.12 and 13 of the World Urbanization Prospects: The 2005 Revision.[18] < http://www.un.org/esa.un.org/unup/>. See also . United Nations membership date is from the United Nations Terminology Bulletin, and List of Member States, <www.un.org/Overview/unmember.html>. Economic indicators Exchange rates are shown in units of national currency per US dollar and refer to end-of-period quotations. Unless otherwise stated, the table refers to the midpoint market rates (average of buying and selling rates). This series is compiled by the International Monetary Fund and is published as table 44 in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics.[13] For currencies for which IMF does not publish exchange rates, non-commercial rates derived from the operational rates of exchange for United Nations programmes are shown. Consumer price index numbers published in table 6 in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics [13] 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. The indices here generally refer to “all items” and to the country as a whole. The industrial production index shown here generally covers mining, manufacturing and electricity, gas and water. It does not include construction unless otherwise indicated. This series is from table 5 in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics.[13] Unemployment is defined to include persons above a certain age 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 218
data collection systems used to obtain information on unemployed persons. Unless otherwise noted, these data are national employment office statistics compiled by the International Labour Office and published in table 11 in the United Nations Monthly Bulletin of Statistics.[13] Supplementary data were obtained from the International Labour Office, Yearbook of Labour Statistics. [5]. See also Balance of payments, current account: This series refers to the current account balance and is from the International Monetary Fund’s International Financial Statistics.[6] Tourist arrivals data are those compiled by the World Tourism Organization. They are published in the Yearbook of Tourism Statistics [25], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] Gross domestic product total in current United States dollars are estimates of the total production of goods and services of the countries represented in economic terms, not as measures 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 in its monthly publication International Financial Statistics.[6] 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, 219
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], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] 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], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] Gross fixed capital formation data are based on the percentage distribution of GDP in current prices. This series is from the National Accounts Database compiled from national data provided to the United Nations Statistics Division and is published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] Data in national currency are published in National Accounts Statistics: Main Aggregates and Detailed Tables. [14] 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. These series are from the estimates and projections published in the Key Indicators of the Labour Market prepared by the International Labour Office.[4] Employment in industrial and agricultural sectors refer 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 220
sector is the numerator and total employment the denominator are published in the Key Indicators of the Labour Market prepared by the International Labour Office.[4] Agricultural production index covers all crops and livestock products. This series is from the Internet site of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations . It is published in FAO Yearbook: Production [2], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] 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 series include estimates made by FAO in cases where no official or semi-official figures are available from the countries. This series is from the Internet site of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations . It is published in the FAO Yearbook: Production [2], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] 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). This series is from the Energy Statistics Database of the United Nations Statistics Division. It is published in the Energy Statistics Yearbook [11], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook. [16] Motor vehicles in use series is calculated from data compiled from national statistical sources and is published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook. [16] It refers to passenger cars and commercial vehicles in use according to census on registration figures for year’s census or annual registration took place. Telephones lines series is calculated from the number of main telephone lines in operation.

[9] It is published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] 221
Internet users are mainly based on reported estimates, or derivations based on reported Internet access provider subscriber counts and in a few cases, calculated by multiplying the number of hosts by an estimated multiplier. This series is from the International Telecommunication Union Yearbook of Statistics [8]. It is also published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] See also < http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/statistics/> Total Trade: exports and imports show the movement of goods out of and into a country as shown in Tables 1 and 2 of the United Nations International 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. Major export and import trading partners are expressed as percentages of total exports and imports of the country or area, as estimated by the United Nations Statistics Division from its Commodity Trade Statistics Database (COMTRADE). These series are published in the United Nations International Trade Statistics Yearbook.[12] Social indicators The population annual growth rate is the average annual percentage change in total population size in the period 2000-2005. This series is from table A.11 in World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision.[19] Population age group 0-14 years refers to the population aged 0-14 years of both sexes as a percentage of total population. Age group 60 years and over refers to elderly men as a percentage of all males and elderly women as a percentage of all females. These series are from the United Nations publication World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision.[19} Sex ratio is calculated from data prepared by the United Nations Population Division and is published in World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision.[19] 222

The source of data is the contraceptive use database compiled by the United Nations Population Division and is published in the World Contraceptive Use 2005, CD-ROM Edition – Data in digital form (POP/DB/CP/Rev. 2005). See also < http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/ contraceptive2005/WCU2005.htm>. 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.[18] 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. This series is from Demographic Statistics Database of the United Nations Statistics Division; and the databases on world migrant populations, and on the foreign-born maintained by the United Nations Population Division. The term 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 223
were outside their country of origin. This series is from 2005 Global Refugee Trends, Table 1. Asylum Seekers, refugees and others of concern to UNHCR. [22] See also . Government educational expenditures is from the World Education Indicators database calculated from Global Education Digest, UNESCO Institute for Statistics. It shows the general trends in public expenditure on public and private education expressed as a percentage of the gross national product. The data shown should be considered as approximate indications of the public resources allocated to education. [20] See also Primary-secondary gross enrolment ratio and percentage of third level students are from World Education Indicators database calculated from Global Education Digest, UNESCO Institute for Statistics. [20] See also For the first and second levels, 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. Newspaper circulation data are compiled by UNESCO [20] and are published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] Television receivers in use refer to television receivers in use and/or licenses issued per thousand inhabitants. This series is from the World Telecommunication Indicators database, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) [8]. Intentional homicides (homicide purposely inflicted) refers to death purposely inflicted by another person per 100,000 population. Data are from the United Nations Demographic Yearbook [10], where homi224
cide and injury purposely inflicted by other persons is reported as a cause of death. Seats in parliament refers to the number of women and men in the lower chamber of parliament expressed as a percentage. These data are published in the Women in National Parliaments and the Internet site of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, [7]. Environmental indicators Data on the number of threatened species include plants and animals and are compiled by the World Conservation Union IUCN/Species Survival Commission (SSC), published in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[23] See . Forested area data are from State of the World’s Forests, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [3] and are also published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16] See also the Internet site of the State of the World’s Forests at http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/y0900e/ y0900e00.htm CO 2 emission estimates represent the mass 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, United States of America [1] , and from the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Greenhouse Gas and Inventory Database [21], . Relative to other industrial sources for which CO 2 emissions are calculated, statistics on gas flaring activities are sparse and sporadic and in countries where gas flaring activities account for a considerable proportion of the total CO 2 emission, the sporadic nature of gas flaring statistics may produce spurious or misleading trends in national CO 2 emissions. This series is also published in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.[16]
225
CO2 Per capita emissions figures are obtained by dividing total emissions of carbon dioxide by the population for a particular country and year. Commercial energy consumption refers to “apparent consumption” and 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. This series was obtained from the Energy Statistics Database of the United Nations Statistics Division. It is published in the Energy Statistics Yearbook [11], and in the United Nations Statistical Yearbook. [16] Total amount of precipitation and average minimum and maximum temperatures are measurements from the weather stations closest to the largest urban agglomeration or city. These series are from the World Meteorological Organization. [24], <www.worldweather.org/>

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, 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 price-weighted quantities of different agricultural commodities produced after deductions of quantities used as seed and feed weighted in a similar manner. All the indices at the country, regional and world levels are calculated by the Laspeyres formula. Production quantities of each commodity are weighted by 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 live*

stock 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 non-residents, 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 CO 2 emissions: Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) 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 means 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 228
as a series of summary measures of the period-toperiod 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 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 229
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) 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 "self-employment" 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 230
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' cooperatives, 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 Organisation (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 economic territory, mainly that part which coincides with the free circulation area for goods. “The free 231
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 232
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 non-produced assets realized by the productive activity of 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) 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). See also exports. 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.

(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 235

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 par237
ticipated 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 judgement 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.
