United Nations, New York, 2019

The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations is a

vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and

environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three

main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of

economic, social and environmental data and information on which United

Nations Member States draw to review common problems and to take stock of

policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many

intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or

emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the

ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations

conferences and summits into programmes at the cou ntry level and, through

technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

Introduction

World Statistics Pocketbook 2019 vii

The World Statistics Pocketbook is an annual compilation of key economic,

social and environmental indicators, presented in one-page profiles. This

edition includes profiles for the 30 world geographical regions and 232

countries or areas. Prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division of the

Department of Economic and Social Affairs, it responds to General Assembly

resolution 2626 (XXV), in which the Secretary-General is requested to supply

basic national data that will increase international public awareness of

countries' development efforts.

The indicators shown are selected from the wealth of international

statistical information compiled regularly by the Statistics Division and the

Population Division of the United Nations, the statistical services of the

United Nations specialized agencies and other international organizations

and institutions. Special recognition is gratefully given for their assistance in

continually providing data.

Organization of the Pocketbook

The profiles are presented first with the world and its geographical

regions and sub-regions, based on the M49 regional classification1, and then

countries and areas alphabetically according to their names in English. Each

profile is organised into 5 sections, where relevant and/or available:

• General information: includes data on surface area, population and

population density, sex ratio of the population, capital city and its

population, national currency and its exchange rate to the US dollar,

location by geographical region and the date of admission to the

United Nations.

• Economic indicators: includes data on national accounts Gross domestic

product (GDP), GDP per capita, GDP growth rate, Gross Value Added

(GVA) share by industry, employment share by industry,

unemployment rate, labour force participation rate, consumer price

index, production indices (industry, agriculture and food), the value

of total exports, imports and the trade balance and balance of

payments.

• Major trading partners: shows a country’s main trading partners

• Social indicators: includes data on population (growth rates,

including for the urban population), total fertility rate, life

expectancy at birth, population age distribution, international

migrant stock, refugees, infant mortality rate, health (expenditure

and physicians), education (expenditure and gross enrolment ratios),

intentional homicide rate and seats held by women in the National

Parliament.

https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/

Introduction (continued)

• Environmental and infrastructure indicators: includes data on

internet users, Research & Development expenditure, threatened

species, forested area, CO2 emission estimates, energy production

and energy supply per capita, tourist/visitor arrivals, important sites

for terrestrial biodiversity protected and Official Development

Assistance received or disbursed.

The complete set of indicators, listed by category and in the order in

which they appear in the profiles, is shown before the country profile

section (see page ix). Not all indicators are shown for each country or area

due to different degrees of data availability.

The technical notes section, which follows the country profile pages,

contains brief descriptions of the concepts and methodologies used in the

compilation of the indicators as well as information on the statistical

sources for the indicators. Readers interested in longer time-series data or

more detailed descriptions of the concepts or methodologies should consult

the primary sources of the data and the references listed in the section

following the technical notes.

For brevity the Pocketbook omits specific information on the source or

methodology for individual data points, and when a data point is estimated

no distinction is made between whether the estimation was done by the

international or national organization. See the technical notes section for

the primary source which may provide this information.

Time period

This issue of the World Statistics Pocketbook presents data for the

economic, social, environmental and infrastructure sections for three

reference years - 2005, 2010 and 2019 - when available or the most recent

data previous to these years, back to 2000. These instances are footnoted in

each profile. For the general information and major trading partners

sections the reference year is 2018 and 2017 respectively, unless otherwise

footnoted.

Technical notes


Below are brief descriptions of the indicators presented in the world, regional and

country profiles. The terms are arranged in alphabetical order.

Agricultural production index is calculated by the Laspeyres formula based on the

sum of price-weighted quantities of different agricultural commodities produced.

The commodities covered in the computation of indices of agricultural production

are all crops and livestock products originating in each country. Practically all

products are covered, with the main exception of fodder crops. Production

quantities of each commodity are weighted by the average international

commodity prices in the base period and summed for each year. To obtain the

index, the aggregate for a given year is divided by the average aggregate for the

base period 2004-2006. Indices are calculated without any deductions for feed and

seed and are referred to as “gross” by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the

United Nations (FAO).

Source of the data: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),

Rome, FAOSTAT database, last accessed May 2018.

Balance of payments is a statement summarizing the economic transactions

between the residents of a country and non-residents during a specific period,

usually a year. It includes transactions in goods, services, income, transfers and

financial assets and liabilities. Generally, the balance of payments is divided into

two major components: the current account and the capital and financial account.

The data on balance of payments correspond to the current account category. The

current account is a record of all transactions in the balance of payments covering

the exports and imports of goods and services, payments of income, and current

transfers between residents of a country and non-residents.

Source of the data: International Monetary Fund (IMF), Washington, D.C., Balance

of Payment (BOP) Statistics database, last accessed June 2019.

Capital city and capital city population is the designation of any specific city as a

capital city as reported by the country or area. The city can be the seat of the

government as determined by the country. Some countries designate more than

one city to be a capital city with a specific title function (e.g., administrative and/or

legislative capital). The data refer to the year 2019, unless otherwise stated in a

footnote.

Source of the data: United Nations Population Division (UNPD), New York, "World

Urbanization Prospects (WUP): The 2018 Revision", last accessed May 2018.

CO2 emission estimates represent the volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced

during the combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, from gas flaring and the

manufacture of cement. Original data were converted to CO2 emissions by using the

conversion formula: 1 gram Carbon = 3.667 grams CO2.

Source of the data: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) of the Oak

Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, database on national CO2 emission

estimates, last accessed March 2017.

Technical notes (continued)


CPI: Consumer price index measures the period-to-period proportional change in

the prices of a fixed set of consumer goods and services of constant quantity and

characteristics, acquired, used or paid for by the reference population. The index is

constructed as a weighted average of a large number of elementary aggregate

indices. Each of the elementary aggregate indices is estimated using a sample of

prices for a defined set of goods and services obtained in, or by residents of, a

specific region from a given set of outlets or other sources of consumption. The

indices here generally refer to “all items” and to the country as a whole, unless

otherwise stated in a footnote.

Source of the data: United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, Monthly

Bulletin of Statistics (MBS), last accessed June 2019.

Economy: agriculture, industry and services and other activity presents the shares

of the components of Gross Value Added (GVA) at current prices by kind of

economic activity; agriculture (agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing), industry

(mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply; and

construction) and in services and other sectors based on the sections of the

International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC),

Revision 3, unless a different revision is stated in a footnote.

Source of the data: United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, National

Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates (AMA) database, last accessed

February 2019.

Education: Government expenditure shows the trends in general government

expenditures for educational affairs and services at pre-primary, primary, secondary

and tertiary levels and subsidiary services to education, expressed as a percentage

of the gross domestic product.

Source of the data: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO), Montreal, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) statistics database,

last accessed March 2019.

Education: Primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratio is the total

enrolment in the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education, regardless of

age, expressed as a percentage of the eligible official school-age population

corresponding to the same level of education in a given school year. Education at

the primary level provides the basic elements of education (e.g. at elementary

school or primary school). Education at the secondary level is provided at middle

school, secondary school, high school, teacher-training school at this level and

schools of a vocational or technical nature. Education at the tertiary level is that

which is provided at university, teachers’ college, higher professional school, and

which requires, as a minimum condition of admission, the successful completion of

education at the second level, or evidence of the attainment of an equivalent level

of knowledge. Enrolment is measured at the beginning of the school or academic

year. The gross enrolment ratio at each level will include all pupils whatever their



ages, whereas the population is limited to the range of official school ages.

Therefore, for countries with almost universal education among the school-age

population, the gross enrolment ratio can exceed 100 if the actual age distribution

of pupils extends beyond the official school ages.

Employment in agricultural, industrial and services and other sectors: The

“employed” comprise all persons above a specified age who, during a specified brief

period, either one week or one day, were in "paid employment” or in "self-

employment”, see ILO’s Current International Recommendations on Labour

Statistics. The data refer to those 15 years and over, unless otherwise stated in a

footnote, who perform any work at all in the reference period, for pay or profit in

agriculture (agriculture, forestry and fishing), industry (mining and quarrying;

manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; water supply,

sewerage, waste management and remediation activities; and construction) and in

services and other sectors based on the sections of the International Standard

Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4, unless an earlier

revision is stated in a footnote.

Energy production, primary, is the capture or extraction of fuels or energy from

natural energy flows, the biosphere and natural reserves of fossil fuels within the

national territory in a form suitable for use. Inert matter removed from the

extracted fuels and quantities reinjected, flared or vented are not included. The

resulting products are referred to as “primary” products. It excludes secondary

production, that is, the manufacture of energy products through the process of

transforming primary and/or other secondary fuels or energy. Data are provided in

a common energy unit (Petajoule) and refer to the following primary energy

sources: hard coal, brown coal, peat, oil shale, conventional crude oil, natural gas

liquids (NGL), other hydrocarbons, additives and oxygenates, natural gas, fuelwood,

wood residues and by-products, bagasse, animal waste, black liquor, other vegetal

material and residues, biogasoline, biodiesels, bio jet kerosene, other liquid

biofuels, biogases, industrial waste, municipal waste, nuclear, solar photovoltaic,

solar thermal, hydro, wind, geothermal, and tide, wave and other marine sources.

Peat, biomass and wastes are included only when the production is for energy

purposes. See International Recommendations for Energy Statistics (2011) and 2015

Energy Balances for a complete description of the methodology.

Source of the data: United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, Energy

Statistics Yearbook 2016, last accessed January 2019.



Energy supply per capita is defined as primary energy production plus imports

minus exports minus international marine bunkers minus international aviation

bunkers minus stock changes. For imports, exports, international bunkers and stock

changes, it includes secondary energy products, in addition to primary products.

Source of the data: United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, Energy

Statistics Yearbook 2016, last accessed January 2019.

Exchange rate in units of national currency per US dollar refers to end-of-period

quotations. The exchange rates are classified into broad categories, reflecting both

the role of the authorities in the determination of the exchange and/or the

multiplicity of exchange rates in a country. The market rate is used to describe

exchange rates determined largely by market forces; the official rate is an exchange

rate determined by the authorities, sometimes in a flexible manner. For countries

maintaining multiple exchange arrangements, the rates are labelled principal rate,

secondary rate, and tertiary rate.

Source of the data: International Monetary Fund (IMF), Washington, D.C., the

International Financial Statistics (IFS) database supplemented by United Nations

Department of Management (DM), UN Treasury operational rates of exchange, last

accessed May 2019.

Fertility rate is the total fertility rate, a widely used summary indicator of fertility. It

refers to the number of children that would be born per woman, assuming no

female mortality at child bearing ages and the age-specific fertility rates of a

specified country and reference period. The data are an average over five-year

ranges; 2000-2005 data are labelled “2005”, 2005-2010 data are labelled

“2010” and 2010-2015 data are labelled “2019”, unless otherwise stated in a

footnote.

Source of the data: United Nations Population Division (UNPD), New York, “World

Population Prospects (WPP): The 2019 Revision”; supplemented by data from the

United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, Demographic Yearbook 2015

and the Pacific Community (SPC) Statistics and Demography Programme for small

countries or areas, last accessed June 2019.

Forested area refers to the percentage of land area occupied by forest. Forest is

defined in the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Global Forest Resources

Assessment as land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5

metres and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these

thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is predominantly under agricultural

or urban land use. Data are calculated from the forest estimates divided by the land

area.

Source of the data: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),

Rome, FAOSTAT database, last accessed October 2018.

GDP: Gross domestic product is an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum

of gross value added of all resident producer units plus that part (possibly the total) of



taxes on products, less subsidies on products, that is not included in the valuation of

output. It is also equal to the sum of the final uses of goods and services (all uses except

intermediate consumption) measured at purchasers’ prices, less the value of imports of

goods and services, and equal to the sum of primary incomes distributed by resident

producer units (see System of National Accounts 2008). The data are in current United

States (US) dollars and are estimates of the total production of goods and services of the

countries represented in economic terms, not as a measure of the standard of living of

their inhabitants. To have comparable coverage for as many countries as possible,

these US dollar estimates are based on official GDP data in national currency,

supplemented by national currency estimates prepared by the Statistics Division

using additional data from national and international sources. The estimates given

here are in most cases those accepted by the United Nations General Assembly’s

Committee on Contributions for determining United Nations members’

contributions to the United Nations regular budget. The exchange rates for the

conversion of GDP national currency data into US dollars are the average market

rates published by the International Monetary Fund, in International Financial

Statistics (IFS). Official exchange rates are used only when free market rates are not

available. For non-members of the Fund, the conversion rates used are the average of UN

Treasury rates of exchange. It should be noted that the conversion from local currency into

US dollars introduces deficiencies in comparability over time and among countries which

should be considered when using the data. For example, comparability over time is

distorted when exchange rate fluctuations differ substantially from domestic inflation rates.



February 2019.

GDP growth rate is derived on the basis of constant 2010 price series in national

currency. The figures are computed as the geometric mean of annual rates of

growth expressed in percentages.



February 2019.

GDP per capita estimates are the value of all goods and services produced in the

economy divided by the population.



February 2019.

Health: Physicians includes generalist medical practitioners and specialist medical

practitioners, expressed as the number of physicians per 1 000 population. The

classification of health workers used is based on criteria for vocational education

and training, regulation of health professions, and activities and tasks of jobs, i.e. a

framework for categorizing key workforce variables according to shared

characteristics.

Workforce statistics database, last accessed April 2019.

Health: Current expenditure refers to all health care goods and services used or

consumed during a year excluding capital spending, or rather “gross capital

formation”, which is the purchase of new assets used repeatedly over several years.

These estimates are in line with the 2011 System of Health Accounts (SHA). Current

expenditure is expressed as a proportion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Expenditure database, last accessed April 2019.

Important sites for terrestrial biodiversity protected shows land which contributes

significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity measured as a proportion of

which is wholly covered by a designated protected area. Data are based on spatial

overlap between polygons for Key Biodiversity Areas from the World Database of

key Biodiversity Areas and polygons for protected areas from the World Database

on Protected Areas. Figures for each region are calculated as the proportion of each

Key Biodiversity Area covered by protected areas, averaged (i.e. calculated as the

mean) across all Key Biodiversity Areas within the region.

Index of Industrial production generally cover industry (mining and quarrying;

manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; water supply,

sewerage, waste management and remediation activities; and construction) based

on the sections (i.e. B, C, D and E) of the International Standard Industrial

Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4, unless a different

revision/set of sections is stated in a footnote.

Individuals using the Internet refer to the percentage of people who used the

Internet from any location and for any purpose, irrespective of the device and

network used. It can be via a computer (i.e. desktop or laptop computer, tablet or

insofar as estimates have to be calculated for many developing countries which do

not yet collect information and communications technology household statistics.

Infant mortality rate is the ratio of infant deaths (the deaths of children under one

year of age) in a given year to the total number of live births in the same year,

expressed as a rate per 1 000 live births. The data are an average over five-year



ranges; 2000-2005 data are labelled “2005”, 2005-2010 data are labelled

“2010” and 2010-2015 data are labelled “2019”, unless otherwise stated in a

footnote.






Intentional homicide rate: The rates are the annual number of unlawful deaths

purposefully inflicted on a person by another person, reported for the year per 100

000. For most countries, country information on causes of death is not available for

most causes. Estimates are therefore based on cause of death modelling and death

registration data from other countries in the region. Further country-level

information and data on specific causes was also used.

International migrant stock generally represents the number of persons born in a

country other than that in which they live. When information on country of birth

was not recorded, data on the number of persons having foreign citizenship was

used instead. In the absence of any empirical data, estimates were imputed. Data

refer to mid-year. Figures for international migrant stock as a percentage of the

population are the outcome of dividing the estimated international migrant stock

by the estimated total population and multiplying the result by 100.

International trade: Exports, imports and balance show the movement of goods

out of and into a country. Goods simply being transported through a country (goods

in transit) or temporarily admitted (except for goods for inward processing) do not

add to the stock of material resources of a country and are not included in the

international merchandise trade statistics. In the “general trade system”, the

definition of the statistical territory of a country coincides with its economic

territory. In the “special trade system”, the definition of the statistical territory

comprises only a particular part of the economic territory, mainly that part which

coincides with the free circulation area for goods. “The free circulation area” is a

part of the economic territory of a country within which goods “may be disposed of

without Customs restrictions”. In the case of exports, the transaction value is the

value at which the goods were sold by the exporter, including the cost of

transportation and insurance, to bring the goods onto the transporting vehicle at

the frontier of the exporting country (an FOB-type valuation). In the case of

imports, the transaction value is the value at which the goods were purchased by

the importer plus the cost of transportation and insurance to the frontier of the

importing country (a CIF-type valuation). Both imports and exports are shown in



United States dollars. Conversion from national currencies is made by means of

currency conversion factors based on official exchange rates (par values or

weighted averages). All regional aggregations are calculated as the sum of their

components.

Trade Statistics Database (UN COMTRADE), last accessed May 2019.

Labour force participation rate is calculated by expressing the number of persons in

the labour force as a percentage of the working-age population. The labour force is

the sum of the number of persons employed and the number of unemployed (see

ILO’s current International Recommendations on Labour Statistics). The working-

age population is the population above a certain age, prescribed for the

measurement of economic characteristics. The data refer to the age group of 15

years and over and are based on ILO’s modelled estimates, unless otherwise stated

in a footnote.

Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years of life at birth (age 0) for

males and females according to the expected mortality rates by age estimated for

the reference year and population. The data are an average over five-year ranges;

2000-2005 data are labelled “2005”, 2005-2010 data are labelled “2010” and

2010-2015 data are labelled “2019”, unless otherwise stated in a footnote.






Major trading partners show the three largest trade partners (countries of last

known destination and origin or consignment) in international merchandise trade

transactions. In some cases a special partner is shown (i.e. Areas nes, bunkers, etc.)

instead of a country and refers to one of the following special categories. Areas not

elsewhere specified (i.e. Areas nes) is used (a) for low value trade, (b) if the partner

designation was unknown to the country or if an error was made in the partner

assignment and (c) for reasons of confidentiality. If a specific geographical location

can be identified within Areas nes, then they are recorded accordingly (i.e. Asia

nes). Bunkers are ship stores and aircraft supplies, which consists mostly of fuels

and food. Free zones belong to the geographical and economic territory of a

country but not to its customs territory. For the purposes of trade statistics, the

transactions between the customs territory and the free zones are recorded, if the

reporting country uses the Special Trade System. Free zones can be commercial free

zones (duty free shops) or industrial free zones. Data are expressed as percentages

of total exports and of total imports of the country, area or special partner.

Net Official Development Assistance received or disbursed is defined as those

flows to developing countries and multilateral institutions provided by official

agencies, including state and local governments, or by their executive agencies,

each transaction of which meets the following tests: i) it is administered with the

promotion of the economic development and welfare of developing countries as its

main objective; and ii) it is concessional in character and conveys a grant element of

at least 25 per cent. It is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income of

either the donor or recipient. The multilateral institutions include the World Bank

Group, regional banks, financial institutions of the European Union and a number of

United Nations institutions, programmes and trust funds.

Refugees and others of concern to the UNHCR: The 1951 United Nations

Convention relating to the Status of Refugees states that a refugee is someone who,

owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion,

nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, is outside

the country of his or her nationality and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is

unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country; or who, not

having a nationality and being outside the country of his or her former habitual

residence, is unable or, owing to such fear, unwilling to return to it. In this series,

refugees refer to persons granted a humanitarian status and/or those granted

temporary protection. Included are persons who have been granted temporary

protection on a group basis. The series also includes returned refugees, asylum-

seekers, stateless persons and persons displaced internally within their own country

and others of concern to UNHCR.

UN membership date: The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental

organization whose members are the countries of the world. Currently there are

193 Member States of the United Nations, some of which joined the UN by signing

and ratifying the Charter of the United Nations in 1945; the other countries joined

the UN later, through the adoption of a resolution admitting them to membership.

The process usually follows these steps: first, the country applies for membership

and makes a declaration accepting the obligations of the Charter; second, the

Security Council adopts a resolution recommending that the General Assembly

http://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/index.shtml
