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 1998–2008: 5.99 → 5.04. Over the same years: births 683k → 785k; population 15.5M → 20.9M; internet 0.1% → 1.7%; urban share 24.4% → 27.3%; GDP per person (PPP) 1,659 PPP dollars → 1,794 PPP dollars; GDP growth 3.9% → 6.7%; inflation 6.2% → 9.3%; net migration −1.22k a year → −1.25k a year; life expectancy, men 55.4 years → 60.5 years.
Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 4.53 → 3.97; births 836k → 1M; population 24.1M → 31.2M; internet 3% → 18.2%; urban share 28.7% → 32%; GDP per person (PPP) 1,611 PPP dollars → 1,630 PPP dollars; GDP growth 2.3% → 4.2%; inflation 5.8% → 9.9%; net migration −2.44k a year → −1.49k a year; life expectancy, men 61.6 years → 61.9 years.

How the indicators relate

Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 29 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.78); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.12). 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 = −0.97); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.18). 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 the same direction (r = 0.46); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.04).

Against other countries

Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (1,630 PPP dollars) typically have 4.63; here it is 3.97, about the same as most countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (1,659 PPP dollars) typically have 28.5%; here it is 18.7%, lower than in 84% of countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).

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 +3.5%.
The UN 1998 projection expected this level (3.97) already around 2013: reality is 10 years behind it.
The UN 2017 projection expected this level (3.97) already around 2020: reality is 3 years behind it.
Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.82 (−29% vs 2023), 2100 — 2.06 (−48% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.56.
Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +7.3%.
The UN 2010 projection expected today's level (1M, 2023) only by 2030–2035: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (1M, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.22M (+22% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.22M (+22% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 590k.
Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 12; median gap +5.7%.
The UN 1998 projection expected today's level (31.2M, 2023) only by 2030: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (31.2M, 2023) only by 2025: reality is at least 2 years ahead of it.
Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 53.2M (+70% vs 2023), 2100 — 85.3M (×2.7 vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 59.1M.
Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 27.9M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 31.2M (+12%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +307k, births +3.82M, deaths −661k (more deaths than expected), migration −115k; the largest: births.
Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 29.6M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 31.2M (+5.3%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +1.47M, births +790k, deaths −724k (more deaths than expected), migration −16.6k; the largest: the starting population.
Population: the IMF and the UN disagree. The IMF (April 2026) puts it at 25.7M in 2018, the UN (WPP 2024) at 27.5M: the IMF is 7% lower. Part of the gap may come from whom and which territory each counts.
GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 2.2 pp below the forecast; below it in 94% of cases; typical error ±2.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, October 2019 expected 5.3%, the outcome was −7.1%.
GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 2.8%, 2027 — 4.1%, 2031 — 4.8%.
Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.2 pp above the forecast; below it in 44% of cases; typical error ±1.5 pp. The biggest miss was for 2023: IMF, April 2022 expected 6.8%, the outcome was 9.9%.
Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 8.3%, 2028 — 6%, 2031 — 5%.
Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 3 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 9; median difference −0.49k a year. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 0 a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −1.49k a year (for the years of the period so far).
Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −3.87k a year, 2050 — −7.6k a year, 2100 — −13.1k a year.
Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 3 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 9; median difference −3.6 years. The biggest miss: the 2010 revision expected 68.4 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 61.3 years (for the years of the period so far).
Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 63.2 years, 2050 — 66.1 years, 2100 — 72.3 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.

Gini index

36.8 index, 0-100 latest value, 2021

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.

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

87,100 arrivals per year latest value, 2020

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 (%)

95.2 % of children of end-of-primary age latest value, 2019

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]
