Population, births and deaths
How many people live in each country, how many are born and die, and how many move in or out.
Population counts everyone who lives in a country at mid-year, whatever their legal status or citizenship. The birth rate and the death rate are the live births and the deaths in a year per 1,000 people. When births outnumber deaths a population grows naturally; migration changes it too. Net migration is the number of people who moved into the country in the year minus those who left, citizens and non-citizens alike. The World Bank compiles these figures mainly from the UN Population Division's World Population Prospects, which combines censuses, civil registration and surveys.
