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): 7.62 in 1950 → 2.71 in 2023 (−64%). The trend broke around 1978 and 2000: 0 → −0.16 → −0.06 a year.

What changed at the same time
- The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1987–1997: 6.20 → 4.37. Over the same years: births 459k → 500k; population 11.4M → 15.4M; internet 0% (1997); urban share 48.3% → 50.7%; GDP per person (PPP) 8,299 PPP dollars (1997); GDP growth 1.3% → −1.1%; inflation 71.4% → 1.9%; net migration −8.34k a year → −31.6k a year; life expectancy, men 67.1 years → 68.2 years.
- Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 3.17 → 2.71; births 582k → 522k; population 21.7M → 23.6M; internet 26.2% (2013); urban share 73.1% → 72.2%; GDP per person (PPP) 5,649 PPP dollars → 4,579 PPP dollars; net migration −2.08M a year → 757k a year; life expectancy, men 60.2 years → 69.8 years; no data for the others in those years.
How the indicators relate
- Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2018, 29 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.83); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.37). 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 = −0.85); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.08). 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) (1990–2022, 33 years): levels are barely related (r = 0.26); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.08).
Against other countries
- Order of events: urban majority: 1995; fertility below 3: 2017. 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 0 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +13%.
- The UN 2000 projection expected this level (2.71) already around 2016: reality is 7 years behind it.
- The UN 2017 projection expected this level (2.71) already around 2020: reality is 3 years behind it.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.06 (−24% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.76 (−35% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.26.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 9 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 2; median gap −22%.
- The UN 1998 projection did not expect today's level (522k, 2023) before its horizon ended (2050).
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (522k, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 539k (+3% vs 2023), 2100 — 434k (−17% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 175k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 9 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 3; median gap −9%.
- The UN 1998 projection expected this level (23.6M) already around 2017: reality is 6 years behind it.
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (23.6M, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 37.8M (+60% vs 2023), 2100 — 43.7M (+85% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 29.5M.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 25.6M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 23.6M (−7.8%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +417k, births +660k, deaths −407k (more deaths than expected), migration −2.67M; the largest: migration.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 25.2M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 23.6M (−6.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +2.07M, births +32.7k, deaths −576k (more deaths than expected), migration −3.17M; the largest: migration.
- Population: the IMF and the UN disagree. The IMF (April 2026) puts it at 21.4M in 2010, the UN (WPP 2024) at 22.5M: the IMF is 5% lower. Part of the gap may come from whom and which territory each counts.
- GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (6 editions, 2007–2009). On average the outcome was 0.4 pp above the forecast; below it in 33% of cases; typical error ±0.7 pp. The biggest miss was for 2009: IMF, April 2008 expected 4.8%, the outcome was 5.9%.
- Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (6 editions, 2007–2009). On average the outcome was 1.1 pp above the forecast; below it in 67% of cases; typical error ±5 pp. The biggest miss was for 2008: IMF, April 2007 expected 5%, the outcome was 15.2%.
- Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 8 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 4; median difference +526k a year. The biggest miss: the 2012 revision expected −34.7k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 525k a year (for the years of the period so far).
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 108k a year, 2050 — 8.76k a year, 2100 — −11.5k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 2 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 10; median difference −4 years. The biggest miss: the 2010 revision expected 75.9 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 70 years (for the years of the period so far).
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 71.5 years, 2050 — 74.6 years, 2100 — 82.5 years.
Wars and births
- War of 1967–1967 on the country's territory (UCDP/PRIO). Against peace-time countries whose fertility was close the year before the war (Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Niger and 5 more), net of each country's pre-war trend: births during the war +0.7%, 1–5 years after it +2.6%, 6–10 years after +5.1%; fertility (children per woman) during the war +0.05, 1–5 years after it +0.16, 6–10 years after +0.28.
- War of 1973–1973 on the country's territory (UCDP/PRIO; about 4,634 battle deaths). Against peace-time countries whose fertility was close the year before the war (Mongolia, Niger, Algeria, Malawi, Zambia and 5 more), net of each country's pre-war trend: births during the war −0.2%, 1–5 years after it −0.3%, 6–10 years after −4.9%; fertility (children per woman) during the war −0.03, 1–5 years after it −0.12, 6–10 years after −0.44.
- War of 1982–1982 on the country's territory (UCDP/PRIO; about 2,000 battle deaths). Against peace-time countries whose fertility was close the year before the war (Jordan, Benin, Zambia, Madagascar, South Sudan and 5 more), net of each country's pre-war trend: births during the war −2.8%, 1–5 years after it −3.4%, 6–10 years after −8.8%; fertility (children per woman) during the war −0.18, 1–5 years after it −0.26, 6–10 years after −0.54.
- War of 2011–2024 on the country's territory (UCDP/PRIO; about 344 thousand battle deaths). Against peace-time countries whose fertility was close the year before the war (Laos, Guatemala, Eswatini, Lesotho, Oman and 5 more), net of each country's pre-war trend: births during the war −40%; fertility (children per woman) during the war −0.16. The war lasted more than 10 years: its first 10 years are compared, the years after it are not (the pre-war trend is too old).
- 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
26.4 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$)
1,816,000,000 current US dollars latest value, 2011
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
2,424,000 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.

Agricultural land (% of land area)
74.1 % of land area latest value, 2023
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.
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added per worker (constant 2015 US$)

This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment is 2015. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

Pew estimates for all ages in 2010 and 2020 from the same revised 2025 release. Harmonised census/survey religious identification, not practising believers. Unaffiliated does not mean atheist or without beliefs. Other religions include folk traditions, Sikhs, Jains, Baha’is and others. The 2026 appendix displays shares below 0.1% as <0.1%; the interactive table displays populations below 10,000 as <10,000; these are retained as bounds in dimensions.operator and omitted from exact chart points. Other counts are rounded to 10,000 and shares to 0.1 percentage point. No intervening years are filled. Affiliated is a derived subtotal of the six religious groups and must not be added to them. Regions/world overlap with countries and must not be summed. Diversity ranks describe only the seven broad groups; a larger rank means less diversity, not less freedom.
