Reading this series

Population is a midyear estimate and a denominator for per-capita indicators. The summary shows the latest and previous observations rather than the average population across history. Censuses and revised estimates can change earlier observations.

About this desk

Related economies: Australia · New Zealand · United States · United Kingdom · Euro area · China · Japan · Korea, Rep. · Singapore

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.

The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.
