Countries with high budget deficits relative to their GDPs generally have more difficulty raising funds to finance expenditures, than those with lower deficits. Elections includes the nature of election process or accession to power, date of the last election, and date of the next election. Respondents were asked about the price of a Pack of Cigarettes Marlboro. Substantial underemployment might be noted. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. No date was available from the Wikipedia article, so we used the date of retrieval.
Out-of-school children of primary school age. Total is the total number of primary-school-age children who are not enrolled in either primary or secondary schools.
A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity PPP exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries.
The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment ; as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services.
In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision.
In most cases the definition of inland water bodies includes major rivers and lakes. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population. Countries with a decrease in population are signified by a negative percentage. Future estimates are from the UN Population Division.
Pupil-teacher ratio. Primary is the number of pupils enrolled in primary school divided by the number of primary school teachers. This is the age most people are in the country. It comprises value added in mining, manufacturing also reported as a separate subgroup , construction, electricity, water, and gas.
Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources.
Data are in constant U. Commercial energy use refers to apparent consumption, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport. It also characterizes major economic events and policy changes in the most recent 12 months and may include a statement about one or two key future macroeconomic trends. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i. Also notes the method for selection of members.
In most cases beds for both acute and chronic care are included. For instance, compulsary education lasts for 12 years in the United States. Per capita figures expressed per 1 population. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.
Respondents were asked about the price of a bottle of water 1. Precipitation is defined as any kind of water that falls from clouds as a liquid or a solid. Respondents were asked about the price of a Loaf of Fresh White Bread g. Manufacturing refers to industries belonging to ISIC divisions A dependant person is a person aged and those over 65 years old.
The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure e. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries. Per capita figures expressed per 1, population. 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 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. Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year. Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life. Figures expressed per thousand people for the same year.
Electric power consumption measures the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants less transmission, distribution, and transformation losses and own use by heat and power plants. Typically, battle-related deaths occur in warfare involving the armed forces of the warring parties. This includes traditional battlefield fighting, guerrilla activities, and all kinds of bombardments of military units, cities, and villages, etc. The targets are usually the military itself and its installations or state institutions and state representatives, but there is often substantial collateral damage in the form of civilians being killed in crossfire, in indiscriminate bombings, etc.
All deaths--military as well as civilian--incurred in such situations, are counted as battle-related deaths. Arable land hectares per person 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.
Public debt should not be confused with external debt, which reflects the foreign currency liabilities of both the private and public sector and must be financed out of foreign exchange earnings.
Secondary is the number of pupils enrolled in secondary school divided by the number of secondary school teachers. The distribution gives the percentage contribution of agriculture, industry , and services to total GDP, and will total percent of GDP if the data are complete. Agriculture includes farming, fishing, and forestry. Industry includes mining, manufacturing, energy production, and construction. Services cover government activities, communications, transportation, finance, and all other private economic activities that do not produce material goods.
Average precipitation is the long-term average in depth over space and time of annual precipitation in the country. Respondents were asked about the price of 1 liter of regular Milk.
Changes that have been reported but not yet acted on by BGN are noted. There are no universal definitions and standards of literacy. Unless otherwise specified, all rates are based on the most common definition - the ability to read and write at a specified age.
Detailing the standards that individual countries use to assess the ability to read and write is beyond the scope of our source. Information on literacy, while not a perfect measure of educational results, is probably the most easily available and valid for international comparisons. BMI is calculated by taking a person's weight in kg and dividing it by the person's squared height in meters. See this sample survey for the United States , respondents were asked about the prize of a dozen eggs.
For countries with a rating of over 1, more females are enrolled while countries with a rating under 1 have more males enrolled. See this sample survey for the United States , respondents were asked "Apartment 3 bedrooms in City Centre". See this sample survey for the United States , respondents were asked "Volkswagen Golf 1. Duration of primary is the number of grades years in primary education.
A low index value indicates a peaceful and safe country. For example, from to , India's population is expected to rise by 16, people due to births. Estimates are from the UN Population Division. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages.
It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures. They are not strictly comparable with those in earlier Human Development Reports.
Teaching staff in primary. Public and private. Full and part-time. All programmes. Total is the total number of teachers in public and private primary education institutions. Teachers are persons employed full time or part time in an official capacity to guide and direct the learning experience of pupils and students, irrespective of their qualifications or the delivery mechanism, i.
This definition excludes educational personnel who have no active teaching duties e. Crude death rate indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1, population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
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. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the population growth rate in the absence of migration.
A high value indicates that a country is affected by many terrorist incidents with a strong impact in terms of fatalities, injuries and damaged property. A higher value indicates a happier population.
For example, in the UK, the monarch is the chief of state, and the prime minister is the head of government.
In the US, the president is both the chief of state and the head of government. The total fertility rate is a more direct measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate, since it refers to births per woman.
This indicator shows the potential for population growth in the country. High rates will also place some limits on the labor force participation rates for women. Large numbers of children born to women indicate large family sizes that might limit the ability of the families to feed and educate their children. Respondents were asked about the price of 1 kg of White Rice.
Chief of State. Mobile cellular telephone subscriptions are subscriptions to a public mobile telephone service using cellular technology, which provide access to the public switched telephone network. Post-paid and prepaid subscriptions are included. Where appropriate, a special note has been added to highlight those countries that have multiple time zones.
CO2 emissions from electricity and heat production is the sum of three IEA categories of CO2 emissions: 1 Main Activity Producer Electricity and Heat which contains the sum of emissions from main activity producer electricity generation, combined heat and power generation and heat plants. Main activity producers formerly known as public utilities are defined as those undertakings whose primary activity is to supply the public. They may be publicly or privately owned.
They may be privately or publicly owned. In the IPCC Guidelines, these emissions would normally be distributed between industry, transport and "other" sectors. Within detailed sectoral calculations, certain non-energy processes can be distinguished. In the reduction of iron in a blast furnace through the combustion of coke, the primary purpose of the coke oxidation is to produce pig iron and the emissions can be considered as an industrial process.
Care must be taken not to double count these emissions in both Energy and Industrial Processes. In the IEA estimations, these emissions have been included in this category. For example, 0. Statistics vary from country to country and may include users who access the Internet at least several times a week to those who access it only once within a period of several months.
Information is included by sex and age group years, years, 65 years and over. The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues.
Countries with young populations high percentage under age 15 need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations high percentage ages 65 and over need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues.
For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest. Runways must be useable, but may be unpaved. May not have facilities for refuelling, maintenance, or air traffic control.
Most entities are compared with the entire US or one of the 50 states based on area measurements revised provided by the US Bureau of the Census. Electricity production is measured at the terminals of all alternator sets in a station. In addition to hydropower, coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power generation, it covers generation by geothermal, solar, wind, and tide and wave energy, as well as that from combustible renewables and waste. Production includes the output of electricity plants that are designed to produce electricity only as well as that of combined heat and power plants.
All yearly references are for the calendar year CY unless indicated as a noncalendar fiscal year FY. The texts are taken from the BBC News website. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. Land area is a country's total area, excluding area under inland water bodies, national claims to continental shelf, and exclusive economic zones.
Fixed broadband Internet subscribers are the number of broadband subscribers with a digital subscriber line, cable modem, or other high-speed technology.

Cuba spends Brazil has a total of 7, km of coastline. In Cuba, that number is 3, km. Large numbers of African slaves were imported to work the coffee and sugar plantations, and Havana became the launching point for the annual treasure fleets bound for Spain from Mexico and Peru. Spanish rule eventually provoked an independence movement and occasional rebellions that were harshly suppressed.
Subsequently, the Platt Amendment to the Cuban constitution authorized the US to intevene in Cuba in the event of instability. The Treaty of Paris established Cuban independence from the US in after which the island experienced a string of governments mostly dominated by the military and corrupt politicians.
