The D e partme nt of Econom ic and Soci al Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is
a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental
spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas:
(i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and
environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations
draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates
the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses
of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises
interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks
developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country
level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

World Statistics Pocketbook v
Introduction
The World Statistics Pocketbook is an annual compilation of key economic, social
and environmental indicators, presented in one-page profiles. This edition includes
country profiles for 216 countries or areas of the world. Prepared by the United
Nations Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, it
responds to General Assembly resolution 2626 (XXV), in which the Secretary-General
is requested to supply basic national data that will increase international public
awareness of countries' development efforts.
The indicators shown are selected from the wealth of international statistical
information compiled regularly by the Statistics Division and the Population Division
of the United Nations, the statistical services of the United Nations specialized
agencies and other international organizations and institutions. Special recognition
is gratefully given for their assistance in continually providing data.
Time period
This issue of the World Statistics Pocketbook covers various years from 2005 to
2012. For the economic indicators, in general, three years - 2005, 2010 and 2011 are shown, unless otherwise indicated. Due to space limitations, data for one year
only are shown for the indicators in the social and environmental categories. For the
six social indicators for which the range of years 2010-2015 is shown, the data refer
to projections. When other ranges of years are shown, the data refer to the most
recent year available within that range.
Organization of the Pocketbook

The country tables or profiles are presented alphabetically according to countries
names in English and contain the available data for the following broad categories:
x
General information: includes each countrys location by geographical

region, currency, surface area, population and population density, capital
city and United Nations membership date
Economic indicators: includes national accounts (Gross domestic product (GDP),

GDP growth rate, GDP per capita, gross national income per capita and gross
fixed capital formation), exchange rates, balance of payments, consumer
price
index,
production
indices (industrial,
agricultural
and
food),
unemployment, employment, labour force participation, tourist arrivals,

energy production, telephone subscribers and internet users
x
Trade: contains the value of total exports, imports and the trade balance as
well as the countries main trading partners
Social indicators: includes population (growth rates, urban percentage, age

groups and sex ratios), life expectancy, infant mortality rate, total fertility

Introduction (continued)
rate, contraceptive prevalence, international migrant stock, refugees,
education (expenditure and enrolment), intentional homicides and female
participation in national parliaments
Environmental indicators: includes threatened species, forested area, CO 2

emission estimates, energy consumption per capita and climatological
information.
The complete set of indicators, listed by category and in the order in which they
appear in the profiles, is shown at the beginning of the country profile section. Not
all indicators are shown for each country or area due to different degrees of data
availability.
The technical notes section, which follows the country profile pages, contains
brief descriptions of the concepts and methodologies used in the compilation of the
indicators as well as information on the statistical sources for the indicators.
Readers interested in longer time-series data or more detailed descriptions of the
concepts or methodologies should consult the primary sources of the data and the
references listed in the section following the technical notes.
The index of indicators, at the back of this publication, lists the complete set of
indicators in alphabetical order and shows the category in which each is presented in
the country profiles along with the pages on which information on the concepts,
definitions and the data sources are given. As noted above, the number of indicators
actually shown for the countries varies according to data availability.
Note
The present World Statistics Pocketbook, 2013 edition (Series V, No. 37) is an
update of the previous edition which was released in 2012 and entitled World
Statistics Pocketbook 2011 (Series V, No. 36).

Below are brief descriptions of the indicators presented in the country profiles. The
terms are arranged in alphabetical order. Numbers in square brackets refer to the
primary sources of the data which are listed in the Statistical sources and
references section.
Agricultural production index: The indices are calculated by the Laspeyres formula
based on the sum of price-weighted quantities of different agricultural commodities
produced. The commodities covered in the computation of indices of agricultural
production are all crops and livestock products originating in each country.
Practically all products are covered, with the main exception of fodder crops.
Production quantities of each commodity are weighted by the average international
commodity prices in the base period and summed for each year. To obtain the index,
the aggregate for a given year is divided by the average aggregate for the base
period 2004-2006. Indices are calculated without any deductions for feed and seed
and are referred to as gross by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO).

of the United Nations, available at http://faostat.fao.org/site/612/default.aspx#ancor
(16 January 2013 update).
Balance of payments is a statement summarizing the economic transactions
between the residents of a country and nonresidents during a specific period,
usually a year. It includes transactions in goods, services, income, transfers and
financial assets and liabilities. Generally, the balance of payments is divided into
two major components: the current account and the capital and financial account.
The data on balance of payments presented in the World Statistics Pocketbook
correspond to the current account category. The current account is a record of all
transactions in the balance of payments covering the exports and imports of goods
and services, payments of income, and current transfers between residents of a
country and nonresidents.
Source of the data: International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics
(IFS) database [6], (last accessed 15 October 2012).
Capital city: The designation of any specific city as a capital city is done solely on
the basis of the designation as reported by the country or area. The city can be the
seat of the government as determined by the country. Some countries designate
more than one city to be a capital city with a specific title function (e.g.,
administrative and/or legislative capital). The data refer to the year 2011.

Technical notes (continued)

CO2 emission estimates represent the volume of CO2 (carbon dioxide) produced
during the combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, and from gas flaring and
the manufacture of cement. Original data were converted to CO2 emissions by using
the conversion formula: 1 gram Carbon = 3.664 grams CO2, as per
http://cdiac.ornl.gov/pns/convert.html#3.

Contraceptive prevalence refers to the percentage of women married or in-union
aged 15 to 49 who are currently using, or whose sexual partner is using at least one
method of contraception, regardless of the method used. Contraceptive methods
include modern methods such as sterilization, oral hormonal pills, intra-uterine
devices, condoms, injectables, implants, vaginal barrier methods and emergency
contraception and traditional methods such as the rhythm, withdrawal, lactational
amenorrhea method and folk methods. The data contain the most recent estimates
of contraceptive prevalence between the years 2006 and 2010.

(December 2012 update).
CPI: Consumer price index measures changes over time in the general level of
prices of goods and services that a reference population acquires, uses or pays for
consumption. A consumer price index is estimated as a series of summary measures
of the period-to-period proportional change in the prices of a fixed set of consumer
goods and services of constant quantity and characteristics, acquired, used or paid
for by the reference population. Each summary measure is constructed as a
weighted average of a large number of elementary aggregate indices. Each of the
elementary aggregate indices is estimated using a sample of prices for a defined
set of goods and services obtained in, or by residents of, a specific region from a
given set of outlets or other sources of consumption goods and services. Unless
otherwise noted, the indices here generally refer to all items and to the country
as a whole.

Currency refers to those notes and coins in circulation that are commonly used to
make payments. The official currency names and the ISO currency codes are those
officially in use, and may be subject to change.

Education: Female third-level students: The number of female students at the
third-level of education is expressed as a percentage of the total number of
students (males and females) at the same level in a given school year. Third-level
education is that which is provided at university, teachers college, higher
professional school, and which requires, as a minimum condition of admission, the
successful completion of education at the second level, or evidence of the
attainment of an equivalent level of knowledge. Unless otherwise indicated, the
data refer to the latest available year between 2006 and 2012.
Source of the data: the website of the UNESCO Institute of Statistics [9], Table 14:
Tertiary indicators, available at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/TableViewer/
tableView.aspx?ReportId=167 (November 2012 release).
Education: Government expenditure (% of GDP): Unless otherwise indicated, the
data refer to the latest available year between 2006 and 2012. They show the
trends in general government expenditures for educational affairs and services at
pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary levels and subsidiary services to
education, expressed as a percentage of the gross domestic product.
Source of the data: the website of UNESCO Institute for Statistics [9], Table 19:
Finance indicators by ISCED level, available at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/
TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportId=172 (November 2012 release).
Education: Primary and secondary gross enrolment ratio is the total enrolment in
first and second levels of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage
of the eligible official school-age population corresponding to the same level of
education in a given school year. Education at the first level provides the basic
elements of education (e.g. at elementary school or primary school). Education at
the second level is provided at middle school, secondary school, high school,
teacher-training school at this level and schools of a vocational or technical nature.
Enrolment is at the beginning of the school or academic year. The gross enrolment
ratio at the first and second level should include all pupils whatever their ages,
whereas the population is limited to the range of official school ages. Therefore, for
countries with almost universal education among the school-age population, the
gross enrolment ratio will exceed 100 if the actual age distribution of pupils extends
beyond the official school ages. Unless otherwise indicated, the data refer to the
latest available year between 2006 and 2012.

Enrolment ratios by ISCED level, available at http://stats.uis.unesco.org/unesco/
TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportId=182 (November 2012 release).
Employment in agricultural and in industrial sectors: The employed comprise
all persons above a specified age who, during a specified brief period, either one week
or one day, were in "paid employment or in "self-employment as defined below.
"Persons in paid employment comprise all persons in the following categories: (a) "at
work": persons who during the reference period performed some work for wages,

salary or related payments, in cash or in kind; or (b) "with a job but not at work":
persons who, having already worked in their present job, were absent during the
reference period and continued to have a strong attachment to their job. "Persons in
self-employment comprise all persons (a) "at work": persons who during the reference
period performed some work for profit or family gain, in cash or in kind; or (b) "with an
enterprise but not at work": persons with an enterprise, which may be a business
enterprise, a farm or a service undertaking, who were temporarily not at work during
the reference period for any specific reason. Employers, own-account workers and
members of producers' co-operatives should be considered as in self-employment and
should be classified as "at work or "not at work, as the case may be. (See ILOs
Current International Recommendations on Labour Statistics). Unless otherwise
indicated, the data refer to the 15 years and over age group who perform any work at
all in the reference period, for pay or profit in industry (mining, manufacturing,
electricity, gas and water and construction) and in agriculture. Agriculture comprises
the following divisions of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All
Economic Activities (ISIC), Rev. 4: crop and animal production, hunting and related
service activities, forestry and lodging, and fishing and aquaculture. Data sources
include the World Banks Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire, Eurostats European
Labour Force Survey, household income and expenditure surveys, household or labour
force surveys, living standards surveys, official estimates and population censuses.
The most common source of the data shown is the household or labour force survey; if
other sources have been used they are indicated with a footnote.

Energy consumption per capita: Data on consumption refers to apparent
consumption, which is derived from the formula production + imports - exports bunkers +/- stock changes.
Source of the data: The Energy Statistics database of the United Nations Statistics
Division (last accessed 24 April 2012) and the Energy Statistics Yearbook [17].
Energy production, primary, refers to the first stage of production of various forms
of energy (from sources that involve only extraction or capture, with or without
separation from contiguous material, cleaning or grading, before the energy
embodied in that source can be converted into heat or mechanical work, converted
into a common unit (metric ton of oil equivalent) (see United Nations publication
Concepts and Methods in Energy Statistics, with Special Reference to Energy
Accounts and Balances, 1982). The data refer to the following commercial primary
energy sources: hard coal, lignite, peat, oil shale, crude petroleum, natural gas
liquids, biodiesel, alcohol, natural gas, primary steam/heat, and electricity
generated from hydro, nuclear, geothermal, wind, tide, wave and solar sources.
Source of the data: The Energy Statistics database of the United Nations Statistics
Division (last accessed 24 April 2012) and the Energy Statistics Yearbook [17].

Exchange rates are shown in units of national currency per US dollar and refer to
end-of-period quotations. The exchange rates are classified into broad categories,
reflecting both the role of the authorities in the determination of the exchange
and/or the multiplicity of exchange rates in a country. The market rate is used to
describe exchange rates determined largely by market forces; the official rate is an
exchange rate determined by the authorities, sometimes in a flexible manner. For
countries maintaining multiple exchange arrangements, the rates are labelled
principal rate, secondary rate, and tertiary rate.
Source of the data: The International Monetary Fund, International Financial
Statistics [6] database (last accessed 15 October 2012). For those currencies for
which the IMF does not publish exchange rates, non-commercial rates derived from
the operational rates of exchange for United Nations programmes are shown, as
published by the United Nations Treasury [22] at http://www.un.org/Depts/treasury/.
Fertility rate: The total fertility rate is a widely used summary indicator of fertility.
It refers to the number of children that would be born per woman, assuming no
female mortality at child bearing ages and the age-specific fertility rates of a
specified country and reference period. Unless otherwise indicated, the data are the
five-year average for the reference period 2010-2015.

Food production index covers commodities that are considered edible and contain
nutrients. Accordingly, coffee and tea are excluded because they have practically
no nutritive value. The index numbers shown may differ from those produced by
countries themselves because of differences in concepts of production, coverage,
weights, time reference of data, and methods of evaluation. The data include
estimates made by FAO in cases where no official or semi-official figures are
available from the countries.

the United Nations, available at http://faostat.fao.org/site/612/default.aspx#ancor (16
January 2013 update).
Forested area refers to the percentage of land area occupied by forest. Forest is
defined in the Food and Agriculture Organizations Global Forest Resources
Assessment as land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5
metres and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these
thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is predominantly under agricultural
or urban land use.
Source of the data: The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010 (FRA 2010)
database [3] of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,

available at http://countrystat.org/home.aspx?c=FOR (last accessed 18 January
2013).
GDP: Gross domestic product is an aggregate measure of production equal to the
sum of gross value added of all resident producer units plus that part (possibly the total)
of taxes on products, less subsidies on products, that is not included in the valuation of
output. It is also equal to the sum of the final uses of goods and services (all uses except
intermediate consumption) measured at purchasers prices, less the value of imports of
goods and services, and equal to the sum of primary incomes distributed by resident
producer units (see System of National Accounts 2008). The data in the World
Statistics Pocketbook are in current United States (US) dollars and are estimates of the
total production of goods and services of the countries represented in economic terms,
not as a measure of the standard of living of their inhabitants. In order to have
comparable coverage for as many countries as possible, these US dollar estimates are
based on official GDP data in national currency, supplemented by national currency
estimates prepared by the Statistics Division using additional data from national
and international sources. The estimates given here are in most cases those
accepted by the United Nations General Assemblys Committee on Contributions for
determining United Nations members contributions to the United Nations regular
budget. The exchange rates for the conversion of GDP national currency data into
US dollars are the average market rates published by the International Monetary
Fund, in International Financial Statistics [6]. Official exchange rates are used only when
free market rates are not available. For non-members of the Fund, the conversion rates used
are the average of United Nations operational rates of exchange. It should be noted that the
conversion from local currency into US dollars introduces deficiencies in comparability over
time and among countries which should be considered when using the data. For example,
comparability over time is distorted when exchange rate fluctuations differ substantially
from domestic inflation rates.
Source of the data: The National Accounts Main Aggregates Database available at
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnllist.asp (December 2012 update) and the
National Accounts Statistics: Analysis of Main Aggregates [20], compiled from
national data provided to the United Nations Statistics Division.
GDP: Growth rate at constant 2005 prices is derived on the basis of constant
price series in national currency. The figures are computed as the geometric mean
of annual rates of growth expressed in percentages for the years indicated.

GDP per capita estimates are the value of all goods and services produced in the
economy divided by the population.
GNI: Gross national income per capita estimates are the aggregate value of the
balances of gross primary incomes for all sectors in the economy divided by the
population. GNI is equal to GDP less primary incomes payable to non-resident units
plus primary incomes receivable from non-resident units. In other words, GNI is
equal to GDP less taxes (less subsidies) on production and imports, compensation of
employees and property income payable to the rest of the world plus the
corresponding items receivable from the rest of the world. Thus GNI at market
prices is the sum of gross primary incomes receivable by resident institutional
units/sectors. It is worth noting that GNI at market prices was called gross national
product in the 1953 SNA, and it was commonly denominated GNP. In contrast to
GDP, GNI is not a concept of value added, but a concept of income (see System of
National Accounts 2008).
Gross fixed capital formation is measured by the total value of a producers
acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during the accounting period plus
certain specified expenditure on services that adds to the value of non-produced
assets (see System of National Accounts 2008). The data are based on the
percentage distribution of GDP in current prices.
Industrial production index: The data shown here generally cover, unless
otherwise noted, the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic
Activities, Revision 4 (ISIC Rev. 4) sections B, C, D and E (i.e., mining and quarrying;
manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply; and water supply,
sewerage, waste management and remediation activities). The data that are
footnoted as referring to ISIC Rev. 3 cover Tabulation Categories C, D and E (mining
and quarrying; manufacturing; and electricity, gas and water supply).

available at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/mbs/ (last accessed 19 October 2012).

Infant mortality rate (per 1 000 live births) is the ratio of infant deaths (the deaths of
children under one year of age) in a given year to the total number of live births in the
same year. Unless otherwise noted, the rates are the five-year projected averages for
the reference period 2010-2015.

[15]
Intentional homicides: The rates are the annual number of unlawful deaths
purposefully inflicted on a person by another person, reported by sex for the year
per 100 000. The data refer to the latest available year between 2008 and 2010.

International migrant stock generally represents the number of persons born in a
country other than that in which they live. When information on country of birth was
not recorded, data on the number of persons having foreign citizenship was used
instead. In the absence of any empirical data, estimates were imputed. Data refer
to mid-2010. Figures for international migrant stock as a percentage of the
population are the outcome of dividing the estimated international migrant stock by
the estimated total population and multiplying the result by 100.
Source of the data: The United Nations Population Division, Trends in International
Migrant Stock: The 2008 Revision [11] available at http://esa.un.org/migration/.
Estimates of total population are obtained from the United Nations Population
Division, World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision available at
http://www.unpopulation.org and include information received by UNSD as of 16
October 2009.
Internet users per 100 inhabitants are based on nationally reported data for users
divided by the total population and then multiplied by 100. There are variations in
data collection among countries: some use surveys that give a more precise figure
for the number of Internet users, while others base their estimates on derivations
from reported Internet Service Provider subscriber counts, calculated by multiplying
the number of subscribers by a multiplier. Surveys may differ across countries in the
user age and frequency of use they cover. Some figures may refer to only users
above a certain age.

October 2012).

Labour force participation rate is calculated by expressing the number of persons
in the labour force as a percentage of the working-age population. The labour force
is the sum of the number of persons employed and the number of unemployed (see
ILOs Current International Recommendations on Labour Statistics). The workingage population is the population above a certain age, prescribed for the

Major trading partners shows the three largest trade partners (countries of
destination and origin) in international merchandise trade transactions. In some
cases, less than three countries may be shown, for example when one or more of
the largest shares of exports and/or imports refer to regions or unspecified areas
rather than to individual countries. Data are expressed as percentages of total
exports and of total imports of the country or area.

Population density refers to population per square kilometre of surface area. Data
are derived from the population estimates for 2011 divided by the surface area. See
also population estimates and surface area.
Population estimates: Data for Population in 2011 refer to de facto population as
of 1 July 2011. The total population of a country may comprise either all usual
residents of the country (de jure population) or all persons present in the country (de
facto population) at the time of the census; for purposes of international
comparisons, the de facto definition is recommended.
Source of the data: Estimates for 2011 were prepared by the United Nations
Population Division and published in the World Population Prospects: The 2010
Revision [12], available at http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/index.htm.
Population growth rate is the average annual percentage change in total
population size. Unless otherwise indicated, the data refer to the period 2010-2015.
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/socind/Dec.%202012/1c.xls [15]
Rainfall in the capital city, total mean data are computed by adding average
monthly measurements from the weather stations in the capital city, unless
otherwise noted. The data are official climatological information supplied by
national meteorological and hydrological services. Since the definition of mean
rainfall and averaging periods may be different for different countries, care should
be taken when comparing city climatologies.

Refugees and others of concern to the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR): The 1951 United Nations Convention
relating to the Status of Refugees spells out that a refugee is someone who, owing
to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality,
political opinion or membership in a particular social group, is outside the country of
his or her nationality and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail
himself or herself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality
and being outside the country of his or her former habitual residence, is unable or,
owing to such fear, unwilling to return to it. In this series, refugees refer to persons
granted a humanitarian status and/or those granted temporary protection. Included
are persons who have been granted temporary protection on a group basis. The
series also includes returned refugees, asylum-seekers and persons displaced
internally within their own country for reasons that would make them of concern to
the UNHCR if they were outside their country of origin.

Temperature in the capital city, mean C (minimum and maximum): Data were
computed from average monthly measurements from the weather stations in the
capital city, unless otherwise noted. The data are official climatological information
supplied by national meteorological and hydrological services worldwide. Since the
definition of mean temperature and averaging periods may be different for different
countries, care should be taken when comparing city climatologies.

Threatened species represents the number of plants and animals that are most in
need of conservation attention and are compiled by the World Conservation Union
IUCN/ Species Survival Commission (SSC).
Source of the data: The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species [26] version 2012.2:
Table 5, available at www.iucnredlist.org (last accessed 22 October 2012).
Total trade: exports and imports show the movement of goods out of and into a country.
Goods simply being transported through a country (goods in transit) or temporarily
admitted (except for goods for inward processing) do not add to the stock of material
resources of a country and are not included in the international merchandise trade
statistics. In the general trade system, the definition of the statistical territory of a
country coincides with its economic territory. In the special trade system, the definition
of the statistical territory comprises only a particular part of the economic territory, mainly
that part which coincides with the free circulation area for goods. The free circulation
area is a part of the economic territory of a country within which goods may be
disposed of without Customs restrictions. In the case of exports, the transaction value is
the value at which the goods were sold by the exporter, including the cost of
transportation and insurance, to bring the goods onto the transporting vehicle at the
frontier of the exporting country (an FOB-type valuation). In the case of imports, the
transaction value is the value at which the goods were purchased by the importer plus
the cost of transportation and insurance to the frontier of the importing country (a CIFtype valuation). Both imports and exports are shown in United States dollars. Conversion
from national currencies is made by means of currency conversion factors based on
official exchange rates (par values or weighted averages).
Source of the data: The United Nations Statistics Divisions Commodity Trade
Statistics Database [14] (Comtrade, see http://comtrade.un.org) and the United
Nations International Trade Statistics Yearbook [18].
Tourist arrivals at national borders: An international tourist is any person who
travels to a country other than that in which he or she has his or her usual residence
but outside his/her usual environment for a period not exceeding 12 months and
whose main purpose of visit is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated

from with the country visited, and who stays at least one night in a collective or
private accommodation in the country visited (see Recommendations on Tourism
Statistics of the United Nations and the World Tourism Organization). Unless
otherwise indicated, the data refer to arrivals of non-resident tourists at national
borders.
Source of the data: The United Nations World Tourism Organization Yearbook of
Tourism Statistics [25] (information received by UNSD as of 11 December 2012).
Unemployment refers to persons above a specified age who during a specified
reference period were: without work, i.e. were not in paid employment or selfemployment as defined under employment; currently available for work, i.e. were
available for paid employment or self-employment during the reference period; and
seeking work, i.e. had taken specific steps in a specified recent period to seek
paid employment or self-employment. In circumstances where employment
opportunities are particularly limited and where persons not working do not have
easy access to formal channels for seeking employment or face social and cultural
barriers when looking for a job, the seeking work criterion should be relaxed.
National definitions of unemployment often differ from the recommended
international standard definitions and thereby limit international comparability.
Inter-country comparisons are also complicated by the different types of data
collection systems used to obtain information on unemployed persons. Unless
otherwise indicated, the data refer to the 15 years and over age group and are
national employment office statistics, usually labour force surveys, compiled by the
ILO. (See ILOs Current International Recommendations on Labour Statistics, 2000
Edition).

indicators of the labour market, Main dataset, available at

United Nations membership dates: The United Nations is an intergovernmental
organization whose members are the countries of the world. Currently there are 192
Member States of the United Nations, some of which joined the UN by signing and
ratifying the Charter of the United Nations in 1945; the other countries joined the
UN later, through the adoption of a resolution admitting them to membership. The
process usually follows these steps: first, the country applies for membership and
makes a declaration accepting the obligations of the Charter; second, the Security
Council adopts a resolution recommending that the General Assembly admit the
country to membership and finally the General Assembly adopts a resolution
admitting the country.
Source of the data: The List of Member States, available at
http://www.un.org/en/members/ [23].

Urban population and urban population growth rate series are based on the
number of persons defined as urban according to national definitions of this
concept. In most cases these definitions are those used in the most recent
population census.
Source of the data: the percentage of urban population figures were obtained from
the Social Indicators website of the Demographic and Social Statistics Branch of the
United Nations Statistics Division at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/products/
socind/Dec.%202012/1c.xls [15] (December 2012 update) and the urban population
