Data Sheets

PRB is well-known for producing comprehensive data sheets covering population, health, and environment topics. These colorful wallcharts contain rich stores of demographic and health data for countries and regions around the world. Several of these data sheets are now online.

Several of these data sheets are also searchable in PRB's DataFinder—a database that contains data on 244 U.S. variables and 132 world variables, and for 210 countries. You can create country or U.S. state profiles of important demographic variables such as total population, fertility rates, infant mortality rates, and HIV/AIDS prevalence.

2006 World Population Data Sheet

PRB's 2006 World Population Data Sheet contains the latest population estimates, projections, and other key indicators for more than 200 countries, including births, deaths, natural increase, infant mortality, life expectancy, urban population, HIV/AIDS prevalence, contraceptive use, land area, percent of population living below $2/day, and population per square mile. New for the 2006 Data Sheet are data on net migration rates, percent of surface area protected, and population with access to improved sanitation. (August 2006)

Europe's Population Aging Will Accelerate

This data sheet provides 26 indicators—ranging from life expectancy at birth to average retirement ages to net migration totals—for each of the 25 countries of the European Union and 46 European countries in all. Europe will see its populations continue to age to unprecedented levels over the next 25 years, causing strains in health care, employment, and retirement. (June 2006)
