Today, Global Population Adds Another Billion at Record Rates. At some point around 1800, after untold millennia of human history, global population reached its first billion. The world’s population now grows by 1 billion about every 12 years. The 20th century began with 1.6 billion and, at the end of that century, those two numbers had simply reversed to 6.1 billion. If birth rates continue to decline in developing countries, the increase to 8 billion could take slightly longer. First Billion

As Developed Countries Undergo Aging and Little Growth in Population Size, Developing Countries Remain Young and Growing. The population “pyramid” of the developed countries clearly shows the decline in the number of young people as a result of low birth rates. The two pyramids provide a comparable picture of the developed and developing countries in the size of their respective populations and age structure. In some DEVELOPED COUNTRIES DEVELOPING COUNTRIES developed countries, the Age Age 85+ size of the youngest age Males Females 85+ Males Females 80-84 80-84 group is barely more than 75-79 75-79 half that of their parents’ 70-74 70-74 age group.

The Number of Working-Age Adults Available to Support an Older Person Is Declining Globally but Still Varies Substantially From Country to Country. Population aging puts pressure on a society’s ability to support its elderly citizens. A commonly used indicator of this pressure is the elderly support ratio, calculated as the number of working-age people ages 15 to 64 divided by the number of persons 65 or older. This ratio serves as a rough indicator of the number of potential providers of support per potential elderly dependent. In 1950, there were 12 workingage people for every elderly person in the world. By 2010, this ratio had declined to 9, with the largest decline occurring in more developed countries. But the ratios still vary substantially across countries. In 24 countries, mostly in Europe, there are fewer than 5 working-age people for every elderly person. The ratio is lowest in Japan, Italy, and Germany—at 3. The ratio is above 25 in seven countries, principally in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. By 2050, the ratio for the world is projected to decline by more than one-half—to 4, and Japan will have the lowest ratio of only 1 working-age adult per elderly person. The elderly support ratio will be below 5 in more than half of the world’s countries. By 2050, no country will have a ratio above 20.

As the U.S. Population Ages, Spending on Entitlement Programs Such as Social Security and Medicare Will Rise Sharply. The number of people age 65 or older in the United States will more than double from 40 million in 2010 to 89 million by 2050. Spending on Social Security and Medicare is projected to increase dramatically between now and 2050 as the number of people receiving benefits grows. The magnitude of this increased spending is illustrated by comparing the projected costs of these two programs with Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which measures the total output of the U.S. economy. In 1970, spending on Social Security and Medicare totaled only about 4 percent of GDP, while by 2010 this share had risen to more than 8 percent of GDP. By 2030, Medicare expenditures are projected to exceed those Expenditures as a Percentage of GDP for Social Security; by 2050, total spending on these two programs is 10 projected to reach almost 15 percent 9 of GDP. The rapid growth in Medicare 8.7% spending will be fueled by the rising 8 cost and use of health care services, in addition to the increase in the 7 number of people receiving benefits. 6

In Many Parts of the World, Rural Populations Still Lack Adequate Sanitation. Worldwide, 40 percent of the population, or more than 2.6 billion people, lack one of life’s basic needs: an adequate sanitation facility, defined as one that hygienically separates sewage from human contact. There are wide regional and rural-urban disparities, and the bulk of the underserved live Percent of Population Who Use Improved Sanitation (2008) in rural areas of developing countries.

2010 WORLD POPULATION DATA SHEET 17

Acknowledgments, Notes, Sources, and Definitions Acknowledgments

Sources

The author gratefully acknowledges the valuable assistance of PRB staff members Donna Clifton, Jennay Ghowrwal, Toshiko Kaneda, Mary Mederios Kent, Kata Fustos, and Will Thompson; 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 (Cooperative Agreement GPO-A-00-03-00004-00), and supporters. The information in this Data Sheet was not provided by and does not represent the views of the United States government or the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The rates and figures are primarily compiled from the following sources: official country statistical yearbooks, bulletins, and websites; United Nations Demographic Yearbook, 2007 of the UN Statistics Division; World Population Prospects: The 2008 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 author of the 2010 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 2009 or 2008.

Notes

Definitions

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/.

Mid-2010 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.

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 three-quarters 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 in UN and U.S. Census Bureau publications and websites.

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. 2050 Population as a Multiple of 2010 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 15-49). Population Under Age 15/Age 65+ The percentage of the total population in these ages, which are often considered the “dependent ages.” Elderly Support Ratio The number of working-age people ages 15-64 divided by the number of persons 65 or older, indicating levels of potential societal support available for the elderly. 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. Most figures are from UNAIDS’ 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic. Figures are updated with data from Demographic and Health Surveys where available. Some regional averages were calculated by PRB. Contraceptive Use The percentage of currently married or “in-union” women of reproductive age who are 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 2009. For more developed countries, data refer to some point in the 1990s and early 2000s; and for less developed countries, from 1995. Data prior to 2004 are shown in italics.

GNI PPP per Capita, 2008 (US$) GNI PPP per capita is gross national income in purchasing power parity (PPP) divided by midyear 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 2006 or 2007. Mobile Phone Subscribers per 100 Inhabitants Data are from the International Telecommunications Union, Measuring the Information Society 2010 (www.itu.int). Percent of Population Who Use Improved Sanitation For monitoring Millennium Development Goals, an improved sanitation facility is defined as one that hygienically separates sewage from human contact. Data are from WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (www. wssinfo.org/datamining/tables.html).

2010 WORLD POPULATION DATA SHEET 18

The Population Reference Bureau informs people around the world about population, health, and the environment, and empowers them to use that information to advance the well-being of current and future generations.

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. DataFinder is a PRB searchable database of 133 population, health, and environment variables for all countries of the world. A separate U.S. database includes 579 social, economic, and demographic variables for each state and the District of Columbia. Influential Reports. Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: Data and Trends—Update 2010 is a new and unique data sheet that highlights FGM/C data and information for 27 countries. This publication is useful to those working for the abandonment of FGM/C and for the improvement of women’s reproductive health. Unbiased Policy Analysis. For more than 20 years, PRB has hosted a monthly seminar series focused on the policy implications of population issues including neglected tropical diseases, climate change and mortality, and HIV/AIDS. Online Resources. PRB’s website offers full text of all PRB publications, including our respected Population Bulletins, and webexclusive data and analysis on world issues ranging from aging to family planning.

Journalist Networks. PRB builds the capacity of journalists from developing countries through seminars and study tours. We organized several study tours for journalists in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mali 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, 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 vital 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. An article written after one study tour for journalists in Kenya led to a steep increase in vasectomies in western Kenya. Seminars for journalists in West Africa increased coverage of contraceptive supply problems, prompting government action in Senegal. 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.
