What each indicator means
- Total population
- Number of people living in the country at mid-year, regardless of citizenship.
- Total fertility rate
- Births a woman would have over her lifetime at current rates. About 2.1 keeps a population steady.
- Life expectancy at birth
- Years a newborn would live if current mortality patterns stayed the same.
- Population aged 65 and over
- Share of the population aged 65 and over — the standard measure of population ageing.
- Crude death rate
- Annual deaths per 1,000 people. It rises with an older age structure, so it is not a measure of health on its own.
