Comparative International Statistics

This section presents statistics for theworld as a whole and for many countrieson a comparative basis with the UnitedStates. Data are shown for population,births and deaths, social and industrialindicators, finances, agriculture, commu-nication, and military affairs.

Statistics of the individual nations may befound primarily in official national publi-cations, generally in the form of year-books, issued by most of the nations atvarious intervals in their own national lan-guages and expressed in their own orcustomary units of measure. (For a listingof selected publications, see Guide toSources.) For handier reference, especiallyfor international comparisons, the UnitedNations Statistics Division compiles dataas submitted by member countries andissues a number of international summarypublications, generally in English andFrench. Among these are the StatisticalYearbook; the Demographic Yearbook;International Trade Statistics Yearbook;National Accounts Statistics: Main Aggre-gates and Detailed Tables; Population andVital Statistics Reports (quarterly); theMonthly Bulletin of Statistics; and theEnergy Statistics Yearbook. Specializedagencies of the United Nations also issueinternational summary publications onagricultural, labor, health, and educationstatistics. Among these are the ProductionYearbook and Trade Yearbook issued bythe Food and Agriculture Organization,the Yearbook of Labour Statistics issuedby the International Labour Office, WorldHealth Statistics issued by the WorldHealth Organization, and the StatisticalYearbook issued by the Educational, Sci-entific, and Cultural Organization.

The U.S. Census Bureau presents esti-mates and projections of basic demo-graphic measures for countries andregions of the world in the World Popula-tion Reports (WP) series. The InternationalPopulation Reports (Series IPC), and Inter-national Briefs (Series IB) also presentpopulation figures for many foreign

countries. Detailed population statisticsare also available from the CensusBureau’s International Data Base(http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idbnew.html>.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF)and the Organization for Economic Coop-eration and Development (OECD) alsocompile data on international statistics.The IMF publishes a series of reportsrelating to financial data. These includeInternational Financial Statistics, Direc-tion of Trade, and Balance of PaymentsYearbook, published in English, French,and Spanish. The OECD publishes a vastnumber of statistical publications in vari-ous fields such as economics, health, andeducation. Among these are OECD in Fig-ures, Main Economic Indicators, EconomicOutlook, National Accounts, Labour ForceStatistics, OECD Health Data, and Educa-tion at a Glance.

Statistical coverage, country names,and classifications—Problems of spaceand availability of data limit the numberof countries and the extent of statisticalcoverage shown. The list of countriesincluded and the spelling of countrynames are based almost entirely on thelist of sovereign nations, dependencies,and areas of special sovereignty providedby the U.S. Department of State.

In recent years, several importantchanges took place in the status of theworld’s nations. In 1990, a unified Ger-many was formed from the FederalRepublic of Germany (West) and the Ger-man Democratic Republic (East). TheRepublic of Yemen was formed by unionof the Yemen Arab Republic and the Peo-ple’s Democratic Republic of Yemen. Alsoin 1990, Namibia, once a United Nationsmandate, realized its independence fromSouth Africa.

In 1991, the Soviet Union broke up into15 independent countries: Armenia, Azer-baijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakh-stan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania,

Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmeni-stan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

Following the breakup of the SocialistFederal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992,the United States recognized Bosnia andHerzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and TheFormer Yugoslav Republic of Macedoniaas independent countries.

On January 1, 1993, Czechoslovakia wassucceeded by two independent countries:the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Eritreaannounced its independence from Ethio-pia in April 1993 and was subsequentlyrecognized as an independent nation bythe United States.

The population estimates and projectionsused in Tables 1324, 1325, 1327, 1328and 1330 were prepared by the CensusBureau. For each country, the data onpopulation, by age and sex, fertility, mor-tality, and international migration wereevaluated and, where necessary, adjustedfor inconsistencies and errors in the data.In most instances, comprehensive projec-tions were made by the componentmethod, resulting in distributions of thepopulation by age and sex and requiringan assessment of probable future trendsof fertility, mortality, and internationalmigration.

Economic associations—The Organiza-tion for European Economic Co-Operation(OEEC), a regional grouping of WesternEuropean countries established in 1948for the purpose of harmonizing nationaleconomic policies and conditions, wassucceeded on September 30, 1961, by theOrganization for Economic Cooperationand Development (OECD). The membernations of the OECD are Australia, Austria,Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Den-mark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan,Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands,New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal,Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom,and the United States.

Quality and comparability of thedata—The quality and comparability ofthe data presented here are affected by anumber of factors:

(1) The year for which data are presentedmay not be the same for all subjects for aparticular country or for a given subjectfor different countries, though the datashown are the most recent available. Allsuch variations have been noted. Thedata shown are for calendar years exceptas otherwise specified.

(2) The bases, methods of estimating,methods of data collection, extent of cov-erage, precision of definition, scope ofterritory, and margins of error may varyfor different items within a particularcountry, and for like items for differentcountries. Footnotes and headnotes to thetables give a few of the major time-periods and coverage qualificationsattached to the figures; considerablymore detail is presented in the sourcepublications. Many of the measuresshown are, at best, merely rough indica-tors of magnitude.

(3) Figures shown in this section for theUnited States may not always agree withfigures shown in the preceding sections.Disagreements may be attributable to theuse of differing original sources, a differ-ence in the definition of geographic limits(the 50 states, conterminous UnitedStates only, or the United States includingcertain outlying areas and possessions),or to possible adjustments made in theUnited States figures by other sources inorder to make them more comparablewith figures from other countries.

International comparisons ofnational accounts data—In order tocompare national accounts data for differ-ent countries, it is necessary to converteach country’s data into a common unit ofcurrency, usually the U.S. dollar. The mar-ket exchange rates which are often usedin converting national currencies do notnecessarily reflect the relative purchasingpower in the various countries. It is nec-essary that the goods and services pro-duced in different countries be valuedconsistently if the differences observedare meant to reflect real differences in thevolumes of goods and services produced.The use of purchasing power parities (seeTable 1340) instead of exchange rates isintended to achieve this objective.

The method used to present the datashown in Table 1340 is to construct vol-ume measures directly by revaluing thegoods and services sold in different coun-tries at a common set of internationalprices. By dividing the ratio of the grossdomestic products of two countriesexpressed in their own national curren-cies by the corresponding ratio calculatedat constant international prices, it is pos-sible to derive the implied purchasingpower parity (PPP) between the two cur-rencies concerned. PPPs show how manyunits of currency are needed in one coun-try to buy the same amount of goods andservices which one unit of currency willbuy in the other country. For further infor-mation, see National Accounts, MainAggregates, Volume I, issued annually bythe Organization for Economic Coopera-tion and Development, Paris, France.

International Standard IndustrialClassification—The original version ofthe International Standard Industrial Clas-sification of All Economic Activities (ISIC)was adopted in 1948. Wide use has beenmade both nationally and internationallyin classifying data according to kind ofeconomic activity in the fields of produc-tion, employment, national income, andother economic statistics. A number ofcountries have utilized the ISIC as thebasis for devising their industrial classifi-cation scheme.

Substantial comparability has beenattained between the industrial classifica-tions of many other countries, includingthe United States and the ISIC by ensur-ing, as far as practicable, that the catego-ries at detailed levels of classification innational schemes fitted into only one cat-egory of the ISIC. The United Nations, theInternational Labour Organization, theFood and Agriculture Organization, andother international bodies have utilizedthe ISIC in publishing and analyzing sta-tistical data. Revisions of the ISIC wereissued in 1958, 1968, and 1989.

International maps—A series ofregional world maps is provided on pages822-828. References are included in Table1327 for easy location of individual coun-tries on the maps. The Robinson map pro-jection is used for this series of maps. Amap projection is used to portray all orpart of the round Earth on a flat surface,but this cannot be done without somedistortion. For the Robinson projection,distortion is very low along the Equatorand within 45 degrees of the center but isgreatest near the poles. For additionalinformation on map projections andmaps, please contact the Earth ScienceInformation Center, U.S. Geological Sur-vey, 507 National Center, Reston, VA22092.

Although the content may not be significantly more advanced than uppersecondary programs, it serves to broaden the knowledge of participants who have already gained an upper secondaryqualification. 2 These programs focus on practical, technical, or occupational skills for direct entry into the labor market, althoughsome theoretical foundations may be covered. They have a minimum duration of 2 years full-time equivalent at the tertiary level.3 Postsecondary nontertiary included in upper secondary. 4 Lower secondary included in preprimary and primary education.5 Data for 1997. 6 Postsecondary nontertiary included in upper secondary and nonuniversity tertiary. 7 Included inuniversity-level. 8 Part of upper secondary included in lower secondary. 9 Postsecondary nontertiary included in nonuniversitytertiary.

1 Based on constant (1995) price data converted to U.S. dollars using 1995 exchange rates. 2 The goods and services produced in different countries should be valued consistently if the differences observedare meant to reflect real differences in the volumes of goods and services produced. The use of purchasing power parities (PPP) instead of exchange rates is intended to achieve this objective. PPPs show how manyunits of currency are needed in one country to buy the same amount of goods and services which one unit of currency will buy in the other country. See text of this section. 3 European Union: Austria, Belgium, Denmark,Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom. 4 Includes overseas departments. 5 Based on System of National Accounts, 1968.

Expenditures data includes outlays net of surpluses of public enterprises. Receipts exclude theoperating surpluses of public enterprises. 2 Includes funded government employee pension liabilities amounting to 19 percentof GDP in 1999. This overstates the Canadian debt position relative to countries that have large unfunded liabilities for suchpensions which are not counted in those countries’ debt figures. 3 Debt data include accounts of the Inherited Debt Fund from1995 on. The 1995 outlays are net of the debt taken on this year from the Inherited Debt funds. 4 Debt data include debt of theJapan Railway Settlement Corporation and the National Forest Special Account from 1998 on. The 1998 expenditures would haverisen by 5.4 percentage points of GDP if account were taken of the assumption by the central government of the debt of these twoentities.
