 Probabilistic Population Projections
(United Nations Population Division)
These are
the 2nd Revision of Probabilistic Population Projections for all countries of the world prepared by the Population
Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA). While the 1st Revision, published in
early 2012, was based only on probabilistic projections of total fertility, this 2nd Revision also includes probabilistic
projections of life expectancy at birth for all countries that do not have a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS infections. The
probabilistic projections are based on the historical estimates of population by age and sex, fertility and mortality
between 1950 and 2010 from the 2010 Revision of the World Population Prospects.

World Population Prospects: The 2012
Revision (United Nations Population Division)
The 2012
Revision of the World Population Prospects is the twenty-Third round of global demographic estimates and projections
undertaken by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United
Nations Secretariat. The world population prospects are used widely throughout the United Nations (UNFPA, UNDP, WHO, FAO,
UNICEF, UNESCO, etc.) and by many international organizations (The World Bank, IMF, etc.), research centers, academic
researchers and the media.
This is the original set of demographic estimates and projections for all countries of the world, which is used for
numerous derived indexes and analytic reports and papers by various UN agencies and research centers.

World Population Datasheet
(Population Reference Bureau)
The World Population Data Sheet offers detailed information on 20 population, health, and
environment indicators for more than 200 countries. Data include: wealth and income disparity, HIV/AIDS prevalence,
percent of population with access to improved sanitation, and more. The demographic data are mostly taken from the
estimates of the United Nations World Population Prospects.

INDEPTH Network
(42 member network of demographic surveillance systems)
INDEPTH is a pioneer in health and population research, providing answers to some of the
most important questions in development. Through its global network of health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS)
field sites in Africa, Asia and Oceania, it is capable of producing reliable longitudinal data not only about the lives of
people in low- and middle-income countries, but about the impact on those lives of development policies and programmes:

Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys
(MICS)
(UNICEF)
UNICEF assists countries in collecting and analyzing data in order to fill data gaps for
monitoring the situation of children and women through its international household survey initiative the Multiple
Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). Since the mid-1990s, the MICS has enabled many countries to produce statistically sound
and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators in the areas of health, education, child protection and
HIV/AIDS. Results from MICS, including national reports and micro level datasets, are widely disseminated after completion
of the surveys and can be downloaded at this website.

Human Fertility Database
(V. Shkolnikov, T. Sobotka, D. Jdanov, A. Jasilioniene, D. Kostova, P. Grigoriev, K.
Kubisch, S. Gellers-Barkmann)
The Human Fertility Database (HFD) is a joint project of the Max Planck Institute for
Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany and the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) in Vienna, Austria, based at
MPIDR. The database provides free access to detailed, well-documented and high-quality data on period and cohort fertility
and thus to facilitate research on changes and inter-country differences in fertility in the past and in the modern era.
The HFD is entirely based on officially registered birth counts by calendar year, mother's age (and/or cohort) and
(whenever possible) biological birth order.

Human Mortality Database
(J.R. Wilmoth, V. Shkolnikov, M Barbieri)
The Human Mortality Database (HMD) was created to provide detailed mortality and population
data to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in the history of human longevity. The
project began as an outgrowth of earlier projects in the Department of Demography at the University of California,
Berkeley, USA, and at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany. It is the work of two teams
of researchers in the USA and Germany, with the help of financial backers and scientific collaborators from around the
world.

Integrated Public Use Microdata Series
(IPUMS)
(Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices)
IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census
micro-data from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census
samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facilitate comparative research.
IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge.
