This dataset provides values for WORLD reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

A computerized data set of demographic, economic and social data for 227 countries of the world. Information presented includes population, health, nutrition, mortality, fertility, family planning and contraceptive use, literacy, housing, and economic activity data. Tabular data are broken down by such variables as age, sex, and urban/rural residence. Data are organized as a series of statistical tables identified by country and table number. Each record consists of the data values associated with a single row of a given table. There are 105 tables with data for 208 countries. The second file is a note file, containing text of notes associated with various tables. These notes provide information such as definitions of categories (i.e. urban/rural) and how various values were calculated. The IDB was created in the U.S. Census Bureau''s International Programs Center (IPC) to help IPC staff meet the needs of organizations that sponsor IPC research. The IDB provides quick access to specialized information, with emphasis on demographic measures, for individual countries or groups of countries. The IDB combines data from country sources (typically censuses and surveys) with IPC estimates and projections to provide information dating back as far as 1950 and as far ahead as 2050. Because the IDB is maintained as a research tool for IPC sponsor requirements, the amount of information available may vary by country. As funding and research activity permit, the IPC updates and expands the data base content. Types of data include: * Population by age and sex * Vital rates, infant mortality, and life tables * Fertility and child survivorship * Migration * Marital status * Family planning Data characteristics: * Temporal: Selected years, 1950present, projected demographic data to 2050. * Spatial: 227 countries and areas. * Resolution: National population, selected data by urban/rural * residence, selected data by age and sex.

Abstract

The World Bank is interested in gauging the views of clients and partners who are either involved in development in Sierra Leone or who observe activities related to social and economic development. The World Bank Country Assessment Survey is meant to give the World Bank's team that works in Sierra Leone, greater insight into how the Bank's work is perceived. This is one tool the World Bank uses to assess the views of its critical stakeholders. With this understanding, the World Bank hopes to develop more effective strategies, outreach and programs that support development in Sierra Leone. The World Bank commissioned an independent firm to oversee the logistics of this effort in Sierra Leone.

The survey was designed to achieve the following objectives: - Assist the World Bank in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Sierra Leone perceive the Bank; - Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders in Sierra Leone regarding: · Their views regarding the general environment in Sierra Leone; · Their overall attitudes toward the World Bank in Sierra Leone; · Overall impressions of the World Bank's effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Sierra Leone; · Perceptions of the World Bank's future role in Sierra Leone. - Use data to help inform Sierra Leone team's strategy.
