3 INTRODUCTION This issue of the Population and Vital Statistics Report presents data for countries or areas on population size (total, male, and female) from the latest available census, estimated total population size for 200 or 2004 (the later available year), and the number and rate of vital events (live births, deaths, and infant deaths) for the latest available year since 980 These data are presented as reported by national statistical authorities to the Demographic Yearbook of the Statistics Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2 This issue also presents data for the world and its major areas and regions on estimated population size (total) for both 200 and 2004 These estimates were prepared by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs The data described in this paragraph are presented in three tables: Table Estimated mid-year population by major area and region, 200 and 2004 Table 2 Population, latest available census and estimates for 200 or 2004 Table Live births, deaths, and infant deaths, latest available year since 980 TECHNICAL NOTES A Population Population estimates for 200 and 2004 for the world and it major areas and regions (table ) refer to July of the given year, and are produced by the United Nations Population Division Latest population census figures for countries or areas (table 2) refer to the given date, and are presented as reported by national statistical authorities to the Demographic Yearbook of the United Nations Statistics Division 2 The data are from nationwide censuses The censuses use different methods of enumeration: conventional/traditional, based on administrative/population registers, or a combination of methods that may include a sample survey 4 The censuses are conducted on either a de facto or a de jure basis, as indicated in the column Code The de facto population consists of all persons who are physically present in the country or area at the reference date, whether or not they are usual and/or legal residents The de jure population consists of all usual residents, whether or not they are present and/or legal Population census data are presented for 2 countries or areas that conducted a census in the period Population estimates for 200 or 2004 for countries or areas (table 2) refer to July of the given year unless otherwise noted, and are presented as reported by national statistical authorities to the Demographic Yearbook of the United Nations Statistics Division 2 They are also coded as either de jure or de facto, since for some countries or areas the code is not the same as for the census figure Population estimates are presented for 52 countries or areas B Vital statistics Table presents data for countries or areas on live births, deaths, and infant deaths (excluding foetal deaths) for the latest available year since 980 The data usually refer to vital events that occurred in the specified year, even if some were registered later In some countries or areas, however, they refer to events that were registered in the specified year, and therefore include some events that occurred previously, and exclude some events that occurred in the specified year but that were or will be registered later In this case, the symbol + is Countries or areas are grouped geographically into 2 regions (for example, Central America), which are then grouped into six major areas (for example, Latin America and the Caribbean), in table of this Report They are listed by six continents (for example, North America) in tables 2 and 2 Data on these and many other demographic variables are maintained and continuously updated in the Demographic Yearbook database A small selection is published twice annually as the Population and Vital Statistics Report, and a much larger selection is published annually as the Demographic Yearbook, which also has complementary statistics and extensive technical notes The Demographic Yearbook is also available online, at: World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision, vol I, Comprehensive Tables (United Nations publication, Sales No E05XIII5) 4 If the census method of enumeration is not conventional/traditional, the type of method is indicated in a footnote to the census date in the table

4 displayed in the column Code Most of the vital statistics data presented in table come from national civil registration systems These systems differ markedly in the completeness of the data that they produce If the country or area reports to the Demographic Yearbook its own estimate of the completeness of its civil registration data, then this estimate is classified in the column Code as follows: C indicates virtually complete data (that is, representing 90 per cent or more of the events occurring in the specified year); and U indicates incomplete data (that is, less than 90 per cent of the events) Data not derived from civil registration usually official estimates from sample surveys or demographic analyses that are assumed reliable are indicated by The table shows both the number of vital events and the rates at which they occur Crude birth and death rates are the number of live births and (total) deaths, respectively, per thousand persons in the same year These rates are based on estimates of mid-year population as reported by national statistical authorities to the Demographic Yearbook The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of persons less than one year of age per thousand live births in the same year Unless otherwise noted, the rates shown were computed by the United Nations Statistics Division Rates were only computed when the numerator the number of vital events is at least 0 and when the denominator (mid-year population or the number of live births) is available for the same year Furthermore, rates were computed only if the code for vital events (see the previous paragraph) is C or C Symbols The following symbols and notations are used Data or information not available/rates not computed - Magnitude zero Provisional figure + Data tabulated by year of registration rather than occurrence C Civil registration, estimated 90 per cent or more complete U Civil registration, estimated less than 90 per cent complete Source other than civil registration, estimated reliable Population de facto Population de jure SS Sample survey, population de facto SS Sample survey, population de jure D Highlights Population censuses One goal of this report is to present the most recent data for total, male, and female population collected by a national population census In the majority of cases, national population censuses are carried out once every ten years, that is, every census round A census round, as defined and implemented by the United Nations, encompasses ten years starting with the fifth year of a decade and ending in the fourth year of the next decade (for example, the 2000 census round started on January 995 and ended on December 2004) Detailed information on planned or conducted national population censuses is collected by the United Nations Statistics Division and presented at The latest available census figure for total population (for ) is given in this publication for 2 countries or areas, usually (whenever available) disaggregated by sex Of these figures, 200 (or 86 per cent) refer to the most recent completed the 2000 round of censuses ( ), 20 (or 86 per cent) refer to the 990 census round ( ), and (or 56 per cent) refer to the 980 or previous census rounds 2

5 2 Vital statistics The main source of vital statistics is civil registration Civil registration is the continuous, permanent, compulsory and universal recording of the occurrence and characteristics of events, including vital events, pertaining to the population, as provided by decree or regulation, in accordance with the legal requirements of a country 5 The availability of detailed vital statistics for a country or area illustrates national capacity in the compilation of these statistics from civil registration systems This report aims to present the most recent data on live births, deaths, and infant deaths reported to the Demographic Yearbook Out of 2 countries or areas in years , the latest available figure for live births refers to year 200, 2004, or 2005 for 8 countries or areas (or 5 per cent); to year 200 or 2002 for 2 countries or areas (or 4 per cent); and to an earlier year ( ) for 52 countries or areas (or 22 per cent) Data on live births for these 26 years ( ) are not available for countries or areas (or per cent) The situation for data on (total) deaths is similar However, data on infant deaths are less recent, less concentrated by year, and (somewhat) less available: 02 figures (or 44 per cent) refer to years , 29 (or 2 per cent) to , and 57 (or 24 per cent) to , while 45 (or 9 percent) are not available One fourth of the countries or areas for which the figure for (total) deaths is available do not report data on infant deaths at all or for the same year as total deaths When vital statistics are available for a country or area, their source is not necessarily a civil registration system It may be a periodic survey, national projection, or census These sources are considered reliable despite lacking the continuity, simultaneity, and universality of a civil registration system On the other hand, if the source of vital statistics is a civil registration system, it is not always complete If less than 90 per cent of all vital events are registered by the civil registration system, the data are assessed as incomplete This assessment is based on information provided by national statistical authorities to the Demographic Yearbook 5 Principles and Recommendations for a Vital Statistics System, Revision 2, Sales NoE0XVII0, United Nations, New York, 200, para 26
