s Due to the cession in July 2011 of the Republic of South Sudan by the Republic of the Sudan, and its subsequent admission to the United Nations on 14 July 2011, disaggregated data for the Sudan and South Sudan as separate States are not yet available for all indicators. Aggregated data presented are for the Sudan pre-cession (see Memorandum item). # For a complete list of countries and areas in the regions, subregions and country categories, see page 98. MAIN DATA SOURCES
Under-5 mortality rate – Probability of dying between birth and exactly 5 years of age, expressed per 1,000 live births. Reduction since 1990 – Percentage reduction in the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) from 1990 to 2011. The United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000 established a goal of a two-thirds (67 per cent) reduction in U5MR from 1990 to 2015. This indicator provides a current assessment of progress towards this goal. GDP per capita – Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. GDP per capita is GDP divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price GDP data in local currency. Total fertility rate – Number of children who would be born per woman if she lived to the end of her childbearing years and bore children at each age in accordance with prevailing agespecific fertility rates.
Under-5 mortality rate – United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, World Health Organization, United Nations Population Division and the World Bank). GDP per capita – The World Bank. Total fertility rate – United Nations Population Division. NOTES
− Data not available. u A negative value indicates an increase in the under-five mortality rate. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.
