Data Sheets PRB is known the world over for our data sheets. These colorful wallcharts contain the latest population estimates, projections, and other key indicators for countries and world regions, including such demographic variables as births, deaths, natural increase, infant mortality, total fertility, life expectancy, urban population, HIV/AIDS prevalence, contraceptive use, GNI PPP per capita, land area, and population per square kilometer. Topics range from world population to the environment to youth to women.

Population Bulletin The quarterly Population Bulletins—on subjects ranging from immigration to world health to gender—are known for their balanced and up-to-date treatment of domestic and international population research. Each Bulletin is devoted to one topic and includes graphs and tables, references, and suggested resources. The Bulletins are a PRB membership publication.

PRB Reports on America This series of reports provides interpretations of important and controversial U.S. population issues and puts currently neglected issues in the public dialogue. Prepared by leading scholars, each issue is written in a clear and lively style for a wide range of audiences.

Policy Briefs PRB’s policy briefs provide concise overviews of current population, health, and environment trends, and examine the issues surrounding these trends for decisionmakers and policy advocates.
