04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

  • The position is ours

    UN DESA Population Division publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.

    A higher value is the worse result.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
