New Data: Cross-country - World Bank population projections
Monday, 27 Mar 2017 17:27 ET
By Skylar Bowman
Summary
March 2017 -- Moody's Analytics now carries the "Population Estimates and Projections" annual dataset from the World Bank, with three broad age brackets and all countries (966 new annual series from 1960, projected to 2050).
Detail

Figures are number of people (#). Geo coverage is 210 individual countries and 48 country-aggregates; not all concept-geo pairs exist. Series start as early as 1960 and are currently projected out to 2050.

Series reside in the historical catalog (Cross-Country Datasets » World Bank » Population Projections » by age) and include, for example:

  • WBKJSPPOPTOTLUA.IEAPD  = Population - All ages - for East Asia and Pacific developing countries
  • WBKJSPPOP0014TOUA.IDEU = Ages 00 to 14 - for Germany
  • WBKJSPPOP1564TOUA.IITA = Ages 15 to 64 - for Italy
  • WBKJSPPOP65UPTOUA.IGBR = Ages 65 and older - for U.K.

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
