Abstract (en): This data collection contains demographic statistics for the populations of 171 countries or areas throughout the world between 1966 and 1974. The data were prepared by the Statistical Office of the United Nations using as primary source a set of questionnaires sent monthly and annually to statistical services and other appropriate government offices. Data include total population by country or area for the years 1966-1974, for males and females, divided into 18 age groups. Other data include ethnic group, urban/rural code, and year, type, and reliability of source document. The populations of 171 countries or areas throughout the world between the years 1966 and 1974.

Abstract (en): These data are a collection of demographic statistics for the populations of 125 countries or areas throughout the world, prepared by the Statistical Office of the United Nations. The units of analysis are both country and data year. The primary source of data is a set of questionnaires sent monthly and annually to national statistical services and other appropriate government offices. Data include statistics on approximately 50 types of causes of death for the years 1966 through 1974 for males, females, and total populations. Causes of death in 125 countries or areas throughout the world between the years 1966 and 1974. 2005-11-04 On 2005-03-14 new files were added to one or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as well as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS portable, and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised 2005-11-04 to reflect these additions. The causes of death are classified according to the 6th, 7th, and 8th versions of an abbreviated list of the World Health Organization's INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, INJURIES, AND CAUSES OF DEATH. Therefore, data for causes of death are not necessarily comparable across countries or data years. Users should refer to Variable 5 in the Variable List for full discussion of this problem. Users interested in comparing deaths for countries or years that use different versions of the Abbreviated list should consult two publications: A. Joan Klebba, and Alice B. Dolman. COMPARABILITY OF MORTALITY STATISTICS FOR THE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH REVISIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, UNITED STATES. Rockville, MD: United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Public Health Service. Health Services and Mental Health Administration. National Center for Health Statistics, 1975, and World Health Organization. MANUAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES, INJURIES, AND CAUSES OF DEATH. Geneva, Switzerland: World Health Organization, 1967.The user should note that countries have data covering a variety of time spans (the maximum span being 1965-1973), and the data have not been padded to supply missing data codes for those years for which a country does not have data. Thus, Egypt has data for years 1965 through 1972, while Kenya has data for only 1970. (See Appendix D in the codebook to determine the years for which a country has data.)It is important that any user of these data consult the United Nations' DEMOGRAPHIC YEARBOOK, 1976, for further explanation of the data's limitations. Certain countries have modified reporting procedures which are presented in both the footnotes and the technical notes accompanying the tables in the Yearbook. There is no way to identify these problems using only the machine-readable data.In order to eliminate unnecessary repetition of identifying information, data were merged so that each record now contains all the data for a country for one particular year. In this process, breakdowns of deaths by ethnic group and/or urban/rural classification were omitted since only a few countries provided such information. Each record now contains the data for the number of deaths from each cause of death for male, female, and total.While the data appear to be in a rectangular matrix, such is not the case. This occurs because different versions of the abbreviated list are referenced in different data years. The lack of a rectangular data matrix does little to restrict the manageability of the dataset. See codebook for examples.While the data have been reformatted and documented by ICPSR staff, there has been no attempt to verify the accuracy and consistency of the data received from the U.N. Statistical Office.

This dataset merges 1972 data on social and military expenditures in 132 nations selected from WORLD MILITARY AND SOCIAL EXPENDITURES, 1974 (see Data Source) with information on demographic attributes of the same nations in 1972 obtained from WORLD POPULATION, 1973 (ICPSR 5032), collected by the United States Bureau of the Census. Military expenditures as well as international peacekeeping, public education, public health, and foreign economic aid expenditures are presented as both raw and per capita measures. Other information includes number of teachers, school age population per teacher, illiteracy rates, number of qualified physicians, population per physician, infant mortality rates, and population per soldier.

Abstract

IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system.

The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

These data are part of the Herring Program of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, project numbers 12120111-Q, 14120111-Q, and 16120111-Q, which is a multi-faceted study to determine why herring populations in Prince William Sound remain depressed since the early 1990s. As part of this effort, this dataset includes a global database of herring time series which was developed to conduct a meta-analysis investigating population collapse and recovery patterns among herring populations. Abundance and recruitment time series of various Pacific and Atlantic herring populations from 1974 to 2011 are collated into a comma-separated value (CSV) file. Catch, spawning biomass, and recruitment time series information for these various populations are also included in the file.

As of July 2024, Nigeria's population was estimated at around 229.5 million. Between 1965 and 2024, the number of people living in Nigeria increased at an average rate of over two percent. In 2024, the population grew by 2.42 percent compared to the previous year. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. By extension, the African continent records the highest growth rate in the world. Africa's most populous country Nigeria was the most populous country in Africa as of 2023. As of 2022, Lagos held the distinction of being Nigeria's biggest urban center, a status it also retained as the largest city across all of sub-Saharan Africa. The city boasted an excess of 17.5 million residents. Notably, Lagos assumed the pivotal roles of the nation's primary financial hub, cultural epicenter, and educational nucleus. Furthermore, Lagos was one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world. Nigeria's youthful population In Nigeria, a significant 50 percent of the populace is under the age of 19. The most prominent age bracket is constituted by those up to four years old: comprising 8.3 percent of men and eight percent of women as of 2021. Nigeria boasts one of the world's most youthful populations. On a broader scale, both within Africa and internationally, Niger maintains the lowest median age record. Nigeria secures the 20th position in global rankings. Furthermore, the life expectancy in Nigeria is an average of 62 years old. However, this is different between men and women. The main causes of death have been neonatal disorders, malaria, and diarrheal diseases.
