What the data shows

Computed with the same code as the observations under the main chart and in the API (get_insights). Moving together in time does not prove a cause.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1971–1981: 6.28 → 4.60. Over the same years: births 8.2k → 10.4k; population 231k → 374k; urban share 78.1% → 80.8%; GDP growth 2.8% (1981); inflation 11.4% (1981); net migration 3.16k a year → 4.52k a year; life expectancy, men 64 years → 70 years; no data for the others in those years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 30 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.90); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.00). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.87); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.24). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are noticeably related, in opposite directions (r = −0.48); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.00).

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (57,820 PPP dollars) typically have 1.35; here it is 1.82, higher than in 87% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (59,060 PPP dollars) typically have 97.7%; here it is 100%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1996; half the population online: 2008; fertility below 2.1: 2009. Fertility fell below 3 after the urban share passed 50% in 69% of 111 countries where the order is known; median gap 9 years. Fertility fell below 2.1 before half the population went online in 88% of 112 countries where the order is known.

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 7 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 4; median gap −1.3%.
  • The UN 2010 projection expected today's level (1.82, 2023) only after 2035: reality is at least 12 years ahead of it.
  • The UN 2019 projection expected today's level (1.82, 2023) only by 2025–2030: reality is at least 2 years ahead of it.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.66 (−9% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.63 (−11% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.13.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 2 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 9; median gap +45%.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 24.1k (+23% vs 2023), 2100 — 34.6k (+77% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 17.4k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 2 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 10; median gap +31%.
  • The UN 1998 projection did not expect today's level (1.57M, 2023) before its horizon ended (2030).
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (1.57M, 2023) only by 2030: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.14M (+36% vs 2023), 2100 — 3.09M (+97% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 2.31M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 841k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 1.57M (+87%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +35.6k, births +174k, deaths +23.4k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +497k; the largest: migration.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 1.56M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 1.57M (+0.8%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −48.8k, births −23.9k, deaths +19.8k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +66.3k; the largest: migration.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 0.1 pp below the forecast; below it in 44% of cases; typical error ±1.8 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, April 2019 expected 2.1%, the outcome was −5.9%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 3.1%, 2027 — 4.5%, 2031 — 3.3%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 1.2 pp below the forecast; below it in 67% of cases; typical error ±1.8 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, April 2019 expected 3.2%, the outcome was −2.3%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 2.4%, 2028 — 1.6%, 2031 — 2%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 10 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 2; median difference +10.8k a year. The biggest miss: the 2022 revision expected 0 a year for 2023; the outcome was 20k a year.
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 1.11k a year, 2050 — 1.35k a year, 2100 — 0.93k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in none; median difference +2.8 years. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 75.5 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 79.2 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 81.9 years, 2050 — 85.1 years, 2100 — 90 years.

UN projections vs actual

Solid line: actual data, UN WPP 2024 estimates; births and fertility from national statistics from the last year they matched the UN estimate (the UN's figures for the latest years are partly its own projection). Dashed: medium variants of past UN revisions. The table shows what each revision expected for the latest year (or five-year period) with actual data.

International tourism receipts are expenditures by international inbound visitors, including payments to national carriers for international transport. These receipts include any other prepayment made for goods or services received in the destination country. They also may include receipts from same-day visitors, except when these are important enough to justify separate classification. For some countries they do not include receipts for passenger transport items. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Bahrain: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 14.5; 2023: 10.1051015197019801990200020102020

Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.

The share of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand a short passage of age-appropriate material—in other words, those who are below the “minimum proficiency” threshold for reading. This measure is defined as the union of two deprivations: 1) schooling deprivation and 2) learning deprivation. A child is considered schooling-deprived (SD) if he or she is of primary school age and out-of-school. The dimension of learning deprivation (LD) applies only for children in school, and identifies those pupils who are below the minimum proficiency level (MPL) for reading, as defined by the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML), measured in standard learning assessments, and reported in the context of the SDG 4.1.1b monitoring. This “union approach” to measurement reflects the choice that, as presented in the SDGs, all age 10 children must be both in school and learning. The final learning poverty measure combines the two dimensions in a single indicator using the following formula: LP = SD + [(1-SD) x LD]

Computed as 100 minus the IEA-published percentage reaching 400 (whole percentages). The PIRLS scale was set in 2001: 500 is the mean of that cycle's countries and 100 points is one standard deviation; the test is repeated every 5 years, and a country's scores from different cycles are comparable when IEA includes them in its trend table. Year is the cycle year. In 2021, because of COVID-19, some countries tested the same children at the beginning of grade 5 (at least 4 months older: the United States, Ireland, Hungary, Croatia, Lithuania and others) and six tested a year later (England, Australia, Brazil, Iran, Israel, South Africa); about half the countries tested on computer (digitalPIRLS). Some countries test the next grade up (Norway, grade 5). Values IEA flags as not reliably measured (more than 25% of students too low to estimate) are left out. Russia took part in every cycle 2001-2021; Moscow City is a separate participant. Figures come from the PIRLS 2021 trend tables; for countries absent there, from the PIRLS 2016 report.
