Abstract:  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. 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. Variables include population, birth and death rate, rate of natural increase, population "doubling time", estimated population for 2010 and 2025, infant mortality rate, total fertility rate, population under age 15/over age 65, life expectancy at birth, urban population, contraceptive use, per capita GNP, and government view of current birth rate. NOTE: This file is a compilation of demographic data from various sources. The data values are the same as those published in PRB's World Data Sheet, but this file also contains some underlying population figures used to calculate the rates and percentages.
