The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations is a vitalinterface 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, socialand 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 meansof translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences andsummits into programmes at the country level and, through technicalassistance, helps build national capacities.

Introduction
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 ofcountries' development efforts.
The indicators shown are selected from the wealth of international
statistical information compiled regularly by the Statistics Division and thePopulation Division of the United Nations, the statistical services of theUnited Nations specialized agencies and other international organizations andinstitutions. Special recognition is gratefully given for their assistance incontinually 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 classification 1, and thencountries and areas alphabetically according to their names in English. Eachprofile is organised into 5 sections, where relevant and/or available:•

General information: includes data on surface area, population andpopulation 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, agricultural
production index, the value of total exports, imports and the tradebalance 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, underfive mortality rate, health (expenditure and physicians), education(expenditure and gross enrolment ratios), intentional homicide rate andseats held by women in the National Parliament.

•

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, population using safely managed water sources
and sanitation facilities 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 (seepage 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 thecompilation of the indicators as well as information on the statistical sources
for the indicators. Readers interested in longer time-series data or moredetailed 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 estimatedno distinction is made between whether the estimation was done by theinternational 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 threereference years - 2015, 2020 and 2024 - when available or the most recent
data previous to these years, back to 2000. These instances are footnoted ineach profile. For the general information and major trading partners sections
the reference year is 2024 and 2023 respectively, unless otherwise footnoted.

Technical notes
Below are brief descriptions of the indicators presented in the world, regional andcountry profiles. The terms are arranged in alphabetical order.
Agricultural production index is calculated by the Laspeyres formula based on thesum 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 quantitiesof each commodity are weighted by the average international commodity prices inthe base period and summed for each year. To obtain the index, the aggregate for agiven year is divided by the average aggregate for the base period 2014-2016. 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).

Rome, FAOSTAT database, last accessed May 2024.
Balance of payments is a statement summarizing the economic transactions
between the residents of a country and non-residents during a specific period, usuallya 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 ofPayment (BOP) Statistics database, last accessed June 2024.
Capital city and capital city population is the designation of any specific city as acapital city as reported by the country or area. The city can be the seat of thegovernment 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 2024, unless otherwise stated in afootnote.

Urbanization Prospects (WUP): The 2018 Revision", last accessed May 2018.
CO2 emission estimates represent total CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. This
includes CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in IPCC Source/Sink Category 1 A Fuel
Combustion Activities and those which may be reallocated to IPCC Source/Sink
Category 2 Industrial Processes and Product Use under the 2006 GLs.

CPI: Consumer price index measures the period-to-period proportional change in theprices of a fixed set of consumer goods and services of constant quantity andcharacteristics, acquired, used or paid for by the reference population. The index isconstructed as a weighted average of a large number of elementary aggregate
indices. Each of the elementary aggregate indices is estimated using a sample ofprices for a defined set of goods and services obtained in, or by residents of, a specificregion 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 statedin a footnote.

Bulletin of Statistics (MBS), last accessed June 2024.
Economy: agriculture, industry and services and other activity presents the sharesof the components of Gross Value Added (GVA) at current prices by kind of economic
activity; agriculture, industry (mining, manufacturing, and construction) and inservices 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.

Education: Government expenditure shows the trends in general government
expenditures for educational affairs and services at primary, lower secondary andupper secondary levels and subsidiary services to education, expressed as apercentage 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, lastaccessed April 2023.
Education: Gross enrolment in primary, lower secondary or upper secondary
education is the total enrolment in the specific level of education, regardless of age,
expressed as a percentage of the eligible official school-age population
corresponding to that specific level of education in a given school year. Education at
the primary level provides the basic elements of education (e.g. at elementary schoolor primary school). Programmes at lower secondary (or first stage of secondary)education are typically designed to build on the learning outcomes from primaryeducation. Usually, the aim is to lay the foundation for lifelong learning and humandevelopment upon which education systems may then expand further educational
opportunities. Some education systems may already offer vocational education
programmes at this level education to provide individuals with skills relevant toemployment.

266 World Statistics Pocketbook 2024

Technical notes (continued)
Upper secondary is the second or final stage of general and vocational secondary
education. Programmes at upper secondary education are typically designed tocomplete secondary education in preparation for tertiary education or provide skills
relevant to employment, or both. The programmes offered are more varied,
specialised and in-depth instruction than programmes in lower secondary education.
Programmes are more differentiated, with an increased range of options and streams
available. 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, forcountries with almost universal education among the school-age population, thegross enrolment ratio can exceed 100 if the actual age distribution of pupils extends
beyond the official school ages.
Source of the data: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), Montreal, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) statistics database, lastaccessed April 2024.
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 "selfemployment”, see ILO’s Current International Recommendations on Labour
Statistics. The data refer to those 15 years and over, unless otherwise stated in afootnote, who perform any work at all in the reference period, for pay or profit inagriculture (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 inservices 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 fromnatural energy flows, the biosphere and natural reserves of fossil fuels within thenational 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), otherhydrocarbons, additives and oxygenates, natural gas, fuelwood, wood residues andby-products, bagasse, animal waste, black liquor, other vegetal material andresidues, biogasoline, biodiesels, bio jet kerosene, other liquid biofuels, biogases,

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 divided by the population. For imports, exports, international
bunkers and stock changes, it includes secondary energy products, in addition toprimary products.

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 themultiplicity 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.

Department of Management (DM), UN Treasury operational rates of exchange, lastaccessed June 2024.
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.
Source of the data: United Nations Population Division (UNPD), New York, “World
Population Prospects (WPP): The 2024 Revision”; supplemented by data from theUnited Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), New York, Demographic Yearbook 2022.
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 landuse. Data are calculated from the forest estimates divided by the land area.

GDP: Gross domestic product is an aggregate measure of production equal to the sumof 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 isalso 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 andservices, 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 mostcases those accepted by the United Nations General Assembly’s Committee onContributions 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 theInternational 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 incomparability over time and among countries which should be considered when using thedata. For example, comparability over time is distorted when exchange rate fluctuations differ
substantially from domestic inflation rates.

GDP growth rate is derived on the basis of constant 2015 price series in national
currency. The figures are annual rates of growth expressed in percentages.

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 andtraining, regulation of health professions, and activities and tasks of jobs, i.e. aframework for categorizing key workforce variables according to sharedcharacteristics.

consumed during a year excluding capital spending, or rather “gross capitalformation”, 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).

Important sites for terrestrial biodiversity protected shows land which contributes
significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity measured as a proportion ofwhich 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.

Individuals using the Internet refer to the percentage of people who used theInternet from any location and for any purpose, irrespective of the device andnetwork used. It can be via a computer (i.e. desktop or laptop computer, tablet or
similar handheld computer), mobile phone, games machine, digital TV, etc. Accesscan be via a fixed or mobile network. There are certain data limits to this indicator,
insofar as estimates have to be calculated for many developing countries which do
not yet collect information and communications technology household statistics.

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 anddeath 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 acountry 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 usedinstead. 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 theestimated total population and multiplying the result by 100.
Source of the data: United Nations Population Division (UNPD), New York,“International migrant stock: The 2020 Revision”, last accessed July 2022.
International trade: Exports, imports and balance show the movement of goods outof and into a country. Goods simply being transported through a country (goods intransit) 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 theinternational merchandise trade statistics. In the “general trade system”, thedefinition 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 thefree 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 thegoods 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 thevalue at which the goods were purchased by the importer plus the cost oftransportation and insurance to the frontier of the importing country (a CIF-typevaluation). 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.

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 isthe 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 andare based on ILO’s modelled estimates, 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 tradetransactions. 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 notelsewhere 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.

Safely managed water and sanitation: population using safely managed drinking
water sources is currently being measured by the proportion of population in urban
and rural areas, according to national definitions, meeting the criteria for using safely
managed drinking water sources (SDG 6.1.1) by using an improved basic drinking
water source which is located on premises, available when needed and free of faecal
