Table 1.B presents the ratio of women to men
in the population aged 60 or over and the population aged 80 or
over. These data have been compiled from estimates and projections
of population by age group and sex, prepared in 2002 by the Population
Division of the United Nations Secretariat, for countries and
areas with a population of at least 150,000 in 2000. The estimates
were made by collecting, evaluating and adjusting, as necessary,
all available data for the period 1950-2000. For year 2003, figures
are mostly the result of projections from the year 2002, except
for such cases where reliable, more recent data are available. |
Table 1.B also presents statistics on the
annual rate of population growth, the percentage of urban population
in the total population and the sex ratio of the international
migrant population. Data on the annual rate of population growth
were prepared in 2002 by the Population Division of the United
Nations Secretariat and published in World Population Prospects:
The 2002 Revision, vol. 1, Comprehensive Tables. Estimates of
the urban population were prepared by the Population Division
and published in World Urbanization Prospects: The 2001 Revision. |
The approach used in estimating rates of population
growth assumes exponential growth. The growth rate shown is an
annual average over the five-year period indicated. |
Urban-rural classification of population follows
the national census definition and varies from one country or
area to another. National definitions are usually based on criteria
that may include any of the following: size of population in a
locality, population density, distance between built-up areas,
predominant type of economic activity, legal or administrative
boundaries, and such urban characteristics as specific services
and facilities. |
Estimates of the ratio of women to men among
international migrants are taken from the database Trends in Total
Migrant Stock, maintained by the Population Division. Estimates
of migrant stock are based on the number of foreign-born or the
foreign residents in a country enumerated by national population
censuses and sample surveys, and complemented by the number of
refugees in a country. Statistics on the foreign-born provide
only a crude measure of the volume and composition of migration
during an indefinite number of years prior to the census. International
comparability of this indicator is affected, among other things,
by the fact that some countries report data on non-citizens rather
than on the foreign-born. |
