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.

How the indicators changed

  • Fertility (TFR): 3.55 in 1950 → 1.55 in 2025 (−56%). Peak: 4.31 in 1961; the latest value is 64% lower. Threshold: below 2.1 since 2011. The trend broke around 1960 and 1978: +0.08 → −0.12 → −0.01 a year.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1963–1973: 4.05 → 2.74. Over the same years: births 64.2k → 59.9k; population 2.54M → 2.98M; urban share 65.7% → 82.3%; net migration 10.2k a year → 28.3k a year; life expectancy, men 68.5 years → 68.4 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2015–2025): fertility (TFR) 1.98 → 1.55; births 59.9k → 57.7k; population 4.61M (2015); internet 85.2% → 93.5%; urban share 85.2% → 84%; GDP per person (PPP) 45,097 PPP dollars → 48,233 PPP dollars; GDP growth 3.6% → 0.2%; inflation 0.3% → 2.8%; net migration 70.9k a year (2015); life expectancy, men 79.9 years (2015).

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2024, 34 years): levels are noticeably related, in opposite directions (r = −0.43); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.12).
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2025, 66 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.92); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.10). 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) (1990–2025, 36 years): levels are noticeably related, in opposite directions (r = −0.62); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.30).

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (49,590 PPP dollars) typically have 1.43; here it is 1.57, about the same as most countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (48,330 PPP dollars) typically have 93.8%; here it is 93.5%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1972; fertility below 2.1: 1978; half the population online: 2001. 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 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −15%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.62 (+4% vs 2025), 2100 — 1.63 (+5% vs 2025); low variant for 2100: 1.13.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 8 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 4; median gap −3.4%.
  • National statistics for 2025: 57.7k, 1% below the UN 2024 medium variant (58.5k).
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 56.1k (−3% vs 2025), 2100 — 50.3k (−13% vs 2025); low variant for 2100: 21.4k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +7.6%.
  • The UN 2006 projection expected today's level (5.17M, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • The UN 2019 projection expected today's level (5.17M, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 5.76M (+11% vs 2023), 2100 — 5.81M (+12% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 4.18M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 4.63M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 5.17M (+12%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +2.6k, births +8.4k, deaths +95.3k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +433k; the largest: migration.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 4.95M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 5.17M (+4.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −20.1k, births −88.1k, deaths +11.7k (fewer deaths than expected), migration +321k; the largest: migration.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.7 pp below the forecast; below it in 61% of cases; typical error ±1.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, April 2019 expected 2.9%, the outcome was −1.2%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 2.1%, 2028 — 2.4%, 2031 — 2.2%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.3 pp above the forecast; below it in 56% of cases; typical error ±1.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2022: IMF, April 2021 expected 1.6%, the outcome was 7.2%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 3.1%, 2028 — 2.1%, 2031 — 2%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 11 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 1; median difference +3.99k a year. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected 5k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 14k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 12.3k a year, 2050 — 13.6k a year, 2100 — 10.6k 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 −0.5 years. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 77.2 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 80.3 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 81.6 years, 2050 — 84.5 years, 2100 — 89.9 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.

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.

Learning poverty: Share of Children at the End-of-Primary age below minimum reading proficiency adjusted by Out-of-School Children (%)

10.9 % of children of end-of-primary age latest value, 2021

New Zealand: Learning poverty: Share of Children at the End-of-Primary age below minimum reading proficiency adjusted by Out-of-School Children (%)2001: 10.8; 2021: 10.90510152005201020152020

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]

Orbital launches in the year that failed to reach the intended orbit (GCAT code F; partial failures coded F are included). Counted from the country's first launch attempt. 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.

The 28 categories include totals and nonresponse. Up to four affiliations are counted per person; communities overlap and must not be added as independent groups. Christian nfd is an unspecified Christian response, not all Christians. No religion is broader than atheism. Object to answering and Not elsewhere included remain separate. Jedi in 2013 is _U.., omitted rather than zero. Fixed random rounding applies; components need not sum exactly. Our shares use count / published Total - religious affiliation × 100, with denominators 4,242,048 (2013), 4,699,755 (2018), 4,993,923 (2023): 2013 no religion is 38.55%.

In 2023, 84.4% came from current responses, 9.2% from historical censuses, and 6.5% from imputation (rounded shares).

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.

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.

Average score of students in their fourth year of school (usually grade 4, about 10 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.

New Zealand: Adult literacy (PIAAC)2015: 281; 2023: 260010020030020152020

Mean literacy score of adults aged 16-65 in the OECD PIAAC test (reading and understanding texts). Adults aged 16-65, PIAAC scale 0-500. Year = year of data collection: cycle 1 - 2012 (Russia, Japan, Finland, US, ...), 2015 (Chile, Greece, Israel, Lithuania, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovenia, Turkey), 2017 (Hungary, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Kazakhstan and a separate US sample); cycle 2 - 2023 (fieldwork 2022-23, tablets only). The OECD treats literacy and numeracy as comparable across cycles (linked scales); the linking error is about 3 points. Cycle 1 values are as originally published (the 2023 report did not re-estimate them). For countries in both cycles 2023 excludes adults who only did the doorstep interview because of a language barrier, as in the OECD trend tables; for cycle-2-only countries (Latvia, Portugal, Switzerland, Croatia) the headline values are used. Belgium (only Flanders took part) and the UK (England, Northern Ireland) are not in the catalog. Russia: 2012, sample without Moscow; Russia did not take part in cycle 2.
