What changed at the same time
- The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1971–1981: 3.85 → 3.07. Over the same years: births 80.8k → 89.8k; population 2.98M → 3.8M; urban share 84.8% → 89.1%; GDP growth 4.7% (1981); inflation 116.8% (1981); net migration 52.6k a year → 16k a year; life expectancy, men 69.9 years → 72.3 years; no data for the others in those years.

How the indicators relate
- Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2024, 35 years): levels are strongly related, in the same direction (r = 0.70); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.32). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
- Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2024, 65 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.96); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.22). 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) (1990–2024, 35 years): levels are noticeably related, in the same direction (r = 0.60); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.33).
Against other countries
- Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (47,670 PPP dollars) typically have 1.45; here it is 2.85, higher than in any other country at this income (2023, 197 countries).
- Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (47,390 PPP dollars) typically have 93.4%; here it is 88.2%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
- Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1986; half the population online: 2008. 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 1 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 10; median gap +25%.
- The UN 2010 projection expected this level (2.87) already around 2015: reality is 9 years behind it.
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (2.87, 2024) only by 2026: reality is at least 2 years ahead of it.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.31 (−19% vs 2024), 2100 — 1.91 (−34% vs 2024); low variant for 2100: 1.41.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 12; median gap +24%.
- The UN 2010 projection did not expect today's level (182k, 2025) before its horizon ended (2100).
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (182k, 2025) only after 2030: reality is at least 6 years ahead of it.
- National statistics for 2025: 182k, 6% above the UN 2024 medium variant (171k).
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 212k (+16% vs 2025), 2100 — 227k (+25% vs 2025); low variant for 2100: 114k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 12; median gap +6.2%.
- The UN 1998 projection did not expect today's level (9.26M, 2023) before its horizon ended (2030).
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (9.26M, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 13.1M (+41% vs 2023), 2100 — 19.7M (+113% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 14.7M.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 8.15M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 9.26M (+14%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −211k, births +971k, deaths +183k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +167k; the largest: births.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 9.02M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 9.26M (+2.7%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −81.4k, births +162k, deaths +13.5k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +149k; the largest: births.
- Population: the IMF and the UN disagree. The IMF (April 2026) puts it at 10.1M in 2025, the UN (WPP 2024) at 9.52M: the IMF is 6% higher. Part of the gap may come from whom and which territory each counts.
- GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.1 pp above the forecast; below it in 44% of cases; typical error ±1.8 pp. The biggest miss was for 2010: IMF, April 2009 expected 0.3%, the outcome was 5.5%.
- GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 3.5%, 2028 — 3.7%, 2031 — 3.4%.
- Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0 pp above the forecast; below it in 47% of cases; typical error ±1.2 pp. The biggest miss was for 2022: IMF, April 2021 expected 0.6%, the outcome was 4.4%.
- Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 2.3%, 2028 — 2%, 2031 — 2%.
- Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in none; median difference +17.3k a year. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 0 a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 24.3k a year (for the years of the period so far).
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 16.5k a year, 2050 — 19.2k a year, 2100 — 12.3k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 4 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 8; median difference −0.4 years. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 78.1 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 80.5 years (for the years of the period so far).
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 81.5 years, 2050 — 84.4 years, 2100 — 89.9 years.
Wars and births
- War of 2023–2023 on the country's territory (UCDP/PRIO). Against peace-time countries whose fertility was close the year before the war (Kazakhstan, Timor-Leste, Mongolia, Turkmenistan, Jordan and 5 more), net of each country's pre-war trend: births during the war −2.2%; fertility (children per woman) during the war −0.15.
- All wars together: of 101 wars on countries' territory since 1955, births 1–5 years after the end were above comparable peace-time countries in 42% of cases (median −1.6%). No significant post-war rise shows up.
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.

Gini index
38.3 index, 0-100 latest value, 2022
Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.

International tourism, receipts (current US$)
2,661,000,000 current US dollars latest value, 2020
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 tourism, number of arrivals
4,905,000 arrivals per year latest value, 2019
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.

Learning poverty: Share of Children at the End-of-Primary age below minimum reading proficiency adjusted by Out-of-School Children (%)
14.4 % of children of end-of-primary age latest value, 2021
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]

Public EV charging points
11,700 charging points latest value, 2025
Publicly available charging points (outlets that can each serve one car at a time) at the end of the year, slow and fast together. A point is not a station: one station can have many points. Home and private workplace chargers are not included. IEA rounds values to two significant figures. IEA, Global EV Data Explorer (Global EV Outlook), CC BY 4.0.
Fast public charging points (over 22 kW)
3,200 charging points latest value, 2025
Publicly available charging points over 22 kW at the end of the year, including ultra-fast ones (150 kW and more). A point is not a station. IEA rounds values to two significant figures. IEA, Global EV Data Explorer (Global EV Outlook), CC BY 4.0.

Electric cars per public charging point
27 vehicles per point latest value, 2025
Light-duty electric vehicles on the road (cars and vans, BEV and PHEV) per publicly available charging point. Higher means fewer public chargers per car; it is high where people charge at home, without a shortage of chargers. IEA, Global EV Data Explorer (Global EV Outlook), CC BY 4.0.
Orbital launches
1 launches a year latest value, 2025
Orbital launch attempts in the year, successful and failed together. An orbital launch is an attempt to put a payload into Earth orbit or beyond, successful or not; suborbital flights (sounding rockets, missile tests, tourist hops) are excluded. The country is the GCAT launch vehicle state (Falcon 9 is the US, Ariane France, Electron from New Zealand New Zealand), not the satellite's country. Soviet launches (1957-1991) are not assigned to Russia: they are only in the world total. Zero after a country's first launch is a year without launches. Data from GCAT (J. McDowell, planet4589.org/space/gcat), CC BY 4.0.

Markets and valuations
Equity price change (WDI)
−29.08 % per year latest value, 2022
Annual equity index price change, without adding dividends. WDI describes USD S&P BMI indices but separately specifies local prices and CAC40, DAX, Nikkei, FTSE and S&P500 for France, Germany, Japan, the UK and US. Do not treat all countries as one USD portfolio. Coverage and currency bases differ; a historical sample, not live quotes. Source definition: S&P Global Equity Indices measure the U.S. dollar price change in the stock markets covered by the S&P BMI country indices.
Stock market capitalisation / GDP
61.02 % of GDP latest value, 2024
Year-end market value of listed domestic equities divided by annual GDP: a stock/flow ratio, not P/E or a bubble diagnosis. Foreign revenues and the share of business outside exchanges vary across countries. India, 2025: WDI reports USD 10.56 trillion of capitalisation, while NSE Market Pulse January 2026 reports about USD 5.3 trillion for India. The reason is unresolved. That year’s capitalisation and capitalisation/GDP are retained in the typed dataset with quality=source_discrepancy but excluded from annual charts and automatic analysis pending review. Source definition: Market capitalization (also known as market value) is the share price times the number of shares outstanding (including their several classes) for listed domestic companies. Investment funds, unit trusts, and companies whose only business goal is to hold shares of other listed companies are excluded. Data are end of year values.
Listed domestic equity capitalisation
330.88 US$ bn latest value, 2024
Price times outstanding shares at year end, in current US dollars. Funds and companies that only hold other companies’ shares are excluded. Changes include repricing, listings, delistings and exchange rates; this is not portfolio return. India, 2025: WDI reports USD 10.56 trillion of capitalisation, while NSE Market Pulse January 2026 reports about USD 5.3 trillion for India. The reason is unresolved. That year’s capitalisation and capitalisation/GDP are retained in the typed dataset with quality=source_discrepancy but excluded from annual charts and automatic analysis pending review. Source definition: Market capitalization (also known as market value) is the share price times the number of shares outstanding (including their several classes) for listed domestic companies. Investment funds, unit trusts, and companies whose only business goal is to hold shares of other listed companies are excluded. Data are end of year values converted to U.S. dollars using corresponding year-end foreign exchange rates.
Equity trading value / GDP
26.9 % of GDP latest value, 2025
Annual value of domestic and foreign shares traded divided by GDP, counting one side of each transaction. Trading volume is neither market capitalisation nor invested savings. Source definition: The value of shares traded is the total number of shares traded, both domestic and foreign, multiplied by their respective matching prices. Figures are single counted (only one side of the transaction is considered). Companies admitted to listing and admitted to trading are included in the data. Data are end of year values.
Domestic equity turnover ratio
14.04 % per year latest value, 2024
Domestic shares traded relative to their capitalisation; WDI annualises the monthly average by multiplying by 12. High turnover measures trading activity, not investment return. Source definition: Turnover ratio is the value of domestic shares traded divided by their market capitalization. The value is annualized by multiplying the monthly average by 12.
Listed domestic companies
511 companies latest value, 2024
Companies with listed shares at year end, including foreign companies exclusively listed locally. Multiple share classes count as one company; investment funds are excluded. Source definition: Listed domestic companies, including foreign companies which are exclusively listed, are those which have shares listed on an exchange at the end of the year. Investment funds, unit trusts, and companies whose only business goal is to hold shares of other listed companies, such as holding companies and investment companies, regardless of their legal status, are excluded. A company with several classes of shares is counted once. Only companies admitted to listing on the exchange are included.
Private-sector credit / GDP
72.47 % of GDP latest value, 2025
Financial resources supplied to the private sector by financial corporations relative to GDP. Includes loans and other debt claims; country coverage differs. Neither government debt nor mortgages alone. Source definition: Domestic credit to private sector refers to financial resources provided to the private sector by financial corporations, such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable, that establish a claim for repayment. For some countries these claims include credit to public enterprises. The financial corporations include monetary authorities and deposit money banks, as well as other financial corporations where data are available (including corporations that do not accept transferable deposits but do incur such liabilities as time and savings deposits). Examples of other financial corporations are finance and leasing companies, money lenders, insurance corporations, pension funds, and foreign exchange companies. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
Bank nonperforming loans
0.72 % of gross loans latest value, 2024
Loans 90+ days overdue or unlikely to be repaid in full divided by gross loans, before provisions and collateral deductions. National rules and coverage can differ. Source definition: The indicator measures the proportion of a deposit taker’s loan portfolio that is impaired or at risk of default. It is calculated as the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total gross loans, where NPLs are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more or are otherwise considered unlikely to be repaid in full without the realization of collateral. Both non-performing loans and total gross loans should be reported at their gross book value, without deducting for loan-loss provisions or collateral. This indicator provides a key measure of asset quality and potential credit risk in the banking system.
Equities: latest month (OECD)
294.44 2015 = 100 latest value, 2026

Manufacturing, share of GDP
11.2 % of GDP latest value, 2024
Manufacturing value added (ISIC section C: factories, excluding mining, utilities and construction) as a percentage of GDP. The share can fall while output grows if the rest of the economy grows faster. World Bank, WDI. Source note: Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Education and skills
PISA: reading, mean score of 15-year-olds
474 PISA points latest value, 2022
Mean score in the OECD PISA test of reading literacy. Tested: 15-year-old students (aged 15y3m-16y2m, grade 7 or above), a sample in each country; every three years, the 2021 cycle postponed to 2022 because of COVID. PISA scale: in the cycle when the domain was first the major one (2000) the OECD mean = 500, standard deviation = 100; the series is comparable from 2000. A 10-15 point change between cycles is often within the error (standard errors and significance are in the education_pisa dataset). In 2015 the test moved from paper to computer and to a new scaling model: the link to earlier cycles holds, with a link error of a few points. In 2022 several countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand and others) missed sampling standards — compare with caution. Values come from the trend tables of the latest OECD report listing the country (PISA 2022, else 2018, 2015, 2012, 2009 Vol. V). China took part only as provinces (B-S-J-G/Z, Shanghai), not shown here; Russia took part 2000-2018, not in 2022; Argentina, Kazakhstan and Malaysia 2015 are not comparable and not shown, nor is Viet Nam reading 2022.

37.3 % of students latest value, 2022
Share of 15-year-olds who did not reach Level 2 in the PISA mathematical literacy test (below 420 points) — the level the OECD treats as the baseline for full participation in life and learning. Tested: 15-year-old students (aged 15y3m-16y2m, grade 7 or above), a sample in each country; every three years, the 2021 cycle postponed to 2022 because of COVID. Shares are comparable from 2003 (for reading, the latest OECD reports give shares only from 2009). In 2015 the test moved from paper to computer and to a new scaling model: the link to earlier cycles holds, with a link error of a few points.

TIMSS: mathematics, grade 8
487 TIMSS score latest value, 2023
Average score of students in their eighth year of school (usually grade 8, about 14 years old) in the international TIMSS mathematics test. The TIMSS scale was set in 1995: 500 is the mean of that cycle's countries and 100 points is one standard deviation; the test is repeated every 4 years, and a country's scores from different cycles are comparable when IEA includes them in its trend table. Year is the test year. In 2019 about half the countries tested on computer (eTIMSS), linked to paper through a bridge sample; in 2023 almost all did. Some countries test the next grade up (Norway, South Africa, Turkey) to keep the average age above the IEA minimum. Values IEA flags as not reliably measured (more than 25% of students too low to estimate) are left out. Russia took part until 2019 and is not in TIMSS 2023. Figures come from the TIMSS 2023 trend tables; for countries absent in 2023, from the TIMSS 2019 report. Source: IEA, TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center.
