04Caveats
Read before you use
What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.
One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from UN IGME’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2015.
The position is ours
UN IGME publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the worse result.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 200 countries has every column.
