Table 9 World HealtH StatiSticS 2009 Demographic and socioeconomic statistics Demographic and socioeconomic factors are major determinants of health. As fertility declines, income rises, populations age and become more urbanized, and epidemiological profiles also shift, with an increasing share of the burden of disease accounted for by noncommunicable diseases, accidents and other external causes. Increasing education, especially of women, also has a major impact on the use of health care and on health status. Data on demographic and socioeconomic trends are also important for making statistics comparable across countries. Disease incidence, prevalence and mortality rates require reliable population-based denominators. The world’s population continues to grow but at a slower rate than a decade ago. The average annual growth rate was 1.3% for 1997–2007 compared with 1.6% for 1987–1997. There are large regional differences in growth rates. The growth rate in Africa is over 10 times that of the European Region, where populations are actually shrinking in several countries. Regions with higher growth rates tend to have younger populations; in the African Region, 43% of people are under the age of 15 compared with only 18% in the European Region and 28% globally. Fertility is also on the decline worldwide, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, where women now have two children fewer than the previous generation. Despite such declines, fertility is still relatively high compared with other regions, at an average of 3.4 children per women compared with 2.7 in South-East Asia and 2.2 in the Americas. In the African Region in 2007, the average women had around 5 children, only a slight decline from the fertility levels of 1990. By contrast, levels of fertility in the European Region are below replacement level, with an average of 1.6 children per woman. The world’s population is shifting towards urban areas, with an estimated 49% living in urban areas in 2007 compared with 43% in 1990. The definition of an urban area varies from one country to another, making regional comparisons unreliable. Since 1990, the gross national income per capita has almost doubled. The highest percentage change over the period of 1990–2007 is in the South-East Asia and Western Pacific Regions where it has increased by about 190%. These demographic and socioeconomic data are drawn from a variety of sources both in countries and from organizations including the World Bank, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations. They are based on a combination of administrative records, population-based surveys, census and civil registration data and statistical modelling to account for missing values. For more information about the sources and methods for a particular indicator, please refer to the relevant footnotes and the responsible organization’s web site. 131 9.
