World Population Prospects (WPP)
United Nations Population Division: World Population Prospects (The 2002 Revision Population Database)
The 2002 Revision Population Database, annually published by the United Nations Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, is a comprehensive data source for world population and official estimation of world population and projections. The 2002 Revision is the eighteenth round of global demographic estimates and projections undertaken by the Population Division since 1950. The database provides major demographic indicators like birth rate, death rate, mortality rate, fertility rate etc. for each member country of United Nations for 1950-2050 by age and sex of the population. This database provides demographic distribution for 20 age-cohorts by sex. In all datasets, figures for 1950-2000 are estimates and those for 2000-2050 are projections. In case of projection, the database has been organized in four sets of variants: low, medium, high, and constant. Detailed information of the database is available at www.un.org/esa/population/unpop.htm. Thomas Buettner of the Population Division was kind enough to provide data from the 2002 revision to the IFs project.
