FOREWORD
A report on World Bank population projections for 1987-88, the
tenth report in a series that began with the Bank's first World Development
Report in 1978, is being published this year for external use for the third
time. In addition, for use within the Bank, separate working papers are
being produced on each of the four Bank regions. This working paper
contains the population projection results that pertain to the Asia region.
The Introduction to the main report was expanded to address
questions about methodology and data sources that were raised about previous
reports. This Introduction is reproduced here in full. It includes a brief
history of the population estimates and projections work in the World Bank;
delineates sources of the principal data used; provides a comparison of the
Bank estimates with U.N. estimates; and tabulates basic demographic
information on the World Bank's new operational regions and departments.
Appendix C, which does not appear in the book, has been added to
the Introduction to highlight comparisons among Bank country departments.
A program to run Bank population projections on personal computers
is available for staff who wish to make use of it.

ACKNOWLEDGEIENTS
A number of persons helped us in the preparation of the book and
this working paper. From the very beginning, Ms. Junko Sazaki was
responsible for much of the computer work. The systematic manner in which
she carried out the computer work helped maintain the accuracy of the
estimates and projections. Randy Bulatao was available whenever we needed
his help in computer programming and solving methodological questions. The
work will be in good hands when he takes over the main responsibility for
this work next year. One of the major time consuming tasks in this work has
been data input. Cathy Cataldo spent a considerable part of her short stay
with the Department on this work, and Ella Hornsby was responsible for
typing the introduction and summary tables.
We are also greatly indebted to the staff of the United Nations
Population Division, New York, to Celade in Santiago, Chile, and to the U.S.
Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., for their great help in providing
the latest demographic information from their files.

METHODS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND PRINCIPAL RESULTS
This set of population projections was prepared for the World
Bank's World Development Report 1987 and replaces the set used in World
Development Report 1986. The methodology, the years for which estimates and
projections are made, and the format of the tables, are more or less the
same as those used in the 1985 publication.
History of the Bank's Population Estimates and Projections
Population projections are prepared routinely by the World Bank
each year. In recent years they have been published first in summary form
in the Bank's World Development Report and later in much greater detail in
separate book form.
Although the Bank's population projections began only in 1978
when the first World Development Report was published, the program of
preparing population projections by Bank staff began several years earlier,
soon after the creation of the Population and Human Resources Division
(PHRD). This division began its demographic work using outside consultants,
not only for demographic information and analyses but also for population
estimates and projections. Feeling the need to build an in-house capacity
for demographic analysis and projections in the Bank, the Population and
Human Resources Division recruited the necessary staff and began making
population projections for selected countries on an ad hoc basis. This
exercise proved very useful not only because of the availability of
population projections in-house, but also because it gave to the staff the
ability to answer economists and project officials about demographic
questions in general. Therefore, the exercise was extended to all Bank
member countries resulting in the Bank's first staff paper on population
projections with the title: "Population Projections for Bank Member
Countries 1970-2000" (by K. C. Zachariah and Roberto Cuca, 1974).
When PHRD was formally requested to make population estimates and
projections for World Development Report 1978, the task was entrusted to a
small group under the supervision of a senior demographer. This was the
beginning of the annual work on population projections for all countries of
the world, including countries that are not members of the Bank. This group
assembled the base data needed for the projections in consultation with the
country economists and outside agencies, such as the U.N. Population
Division, the U.S. Bureau of Census, etc; developed a methodology; borrowed
a computer program from the Population Council; and prepared short-term and
long-term population projections for all countries of the world. Later, the
Bank developed its own computer program to meet the special needs of Bank
publications.
Until 1983, projections were prepared mainly for use within the
Bank: for preparing population and other demographic tables included in the
annual World Development Indicators of the World Development Report, for
country economic and sector work, and to provide background data for policy
work on population and deVelopment. Detailed results were given limited
circulation through PHRD staff papers and PHN Technical Notes. Since 1984,
detailed results have been published for internal and external use under the
title World Population Projections, Short- and Long-term Estimates by Age
and Sex with Related Demographic Statistics.
With the publication of World Development Report 1984, which had
population and development as its special topic, the Bank's population
projections reached an international audience. For months during the summer
of 1984, the world press was inundated with population estimates and
projections prepared by the World Bank. With this international publicity
came also greater critical scrutiny of the Bank's projections by outside
demographic experts. As a result, some of the gaps in the Bank's
projections became evident. They related mostly to lack of information on
sources of base data and lack of historical series. Some of these
criticisms have been taken into consideration in this publication. Others
will be remedied in subsequent issues.
The Bank's work in the area of population estimates and
projections is never a duplication of the efforts of the U.N. Population
Division and other agencies. In some areas, the Bank makes use of data
produced by these agencies, but for several countries it adds its own data
collected by Bank economists and project officers. In general, it
coordinates its work with that of other international agencies.
From the beginning, the Bank's method of projection was always
-different from that of the U.N.. The distinguishing characteristics of the
Bank estimates and projections were:
a. annual updating of base data, estimates, and projections,
compared with biannual updating by the U.N. and less frequent
updating by other agencies
b. quick response to changes in base data due to information from new
censuses or sample surveys
c. production of short-term as well as long-term projections (until
stationary stage) through a single method and computer program
d. inclusion of all countries of the world
e. classification of countries not only by geographic regions but
also by development status and national income.
Assumptions and Methods
Base Total Population and Age-Sex Composition
The base year for the 1987 projections is 1985. As in previous
years, the total population in 1985 was taken from a variety of sources. A
number of countries have had population censuses in recent years. For these
countries the mid-1985 population estimates were obtained from the recent
census results.
For developed countries, the mid-1985 population statistics were
taken from official estimates published in the most recent issue of the U.N.
Pbpulation and Vital Statistics Report. For the Sub-Saharan African region,
revision of base data was made on the basis of new information obtained from
censuses or surveys. For the rest, base data were obtained from either the
3
U.N. Population Division, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, other international
sources such as Demographic Statistics (Eurostat 1984), or the World Bank's
economic and sector reports.
Details about the source and method of estimating the 1985
population by country are given in Appendix Table Al.
The total population in 1985 was distributed by age and sex on the
basis of the percentage distribution from the latest census results
(adjusted for errors in age reporting), or from the U.N. revised
projections.
Mortality Level and Trend
The base-year mortality levels in the projections are in general
the same as those used in the recent U.N. projections. The exceptions are
where the Bank's own analysis indicated a different mortality level (see
Appendix Table A2 for details).
For projecting mortality, life expectancy at birth was used as the
mortality index. It was projected on the basis of a simple model using past
patterns of relationships between life expectancy change, its level, and the
female primary school enrollment ratio.
On the basis of recent evidence of a close relationship between
female education and childhood mortality, world data were examined to
determine whether female educational levels could be used as a discriminant
of mortality levels and change. The latest available data on the percentage
of girls enrolled in primary school (normally the years 1973-77) were
obtained from the UNESCO Statistical Year Book for 1978-79 for all countries
covered in the World Development Report. Data on the percentage of women
20-24 years of age in the 1960s and early 1970s who had had some schooling
were obtained from Statistical Report and Studies: Statistics of
Educational Attainment and Illiteracy 1945-74 (UNESCO 1977). Unfortunately,
such data were available for only thirty developing countries.
For all countries, current life expectancy at birth proved to be
correlated with current female primary school enrollment (R2 = 0.495). For
developing countries alone, however, the results were more striking: R2 =
0.499 for current female primary-school enrollment, 0.526 for female
education ten years ago. This group of countries is of course the Bank's
prime concern. Thus, there seemed to be a case for estimating trends on the
basis of female education.
The next step was to examine the relationship between changes in
life *expectancy and education, from 1965-69 to 1975-79, for' a given life
expectancy (the input variable) measured at the initial (1965-69) level.
The data on female primary school enrollment for 1965-69 were also taken
from the UNESCO Statistical Report and Studies. The objective was to
estimate future yearly increases in female life expectancy for different
cltegories of female primary school enrollment. Naturally, the underlying
assumption is that the relationship between the initial level of primary
14
school enrollment and subsequent change in life expectancy will be the same
in the future as it was from 1965-69 to 1975-79, but there seems to be no
practical alternative to such an assumption.
After much experimentation with various groupings, countries were
divided into two groups: those with initial (1965) female primary school
enrollment of less than 70 percent (the "low" group) and those with 70
percent or more (the "high" group). Initially, all data points were
included and were divided into low, medium, and high groups. This produced
widely scattered data in two lower groups and a poor fit when regression
equations were calculated. Attempts were made to improve the fit by
changing the dividing point for the medium and low groups and by removing
many observation points based on less reliable data. The second procedure
improved the R2 values, but produced curves indicating relationships
contrary to expectations. This, together with the small size of the
resulting groups and the fact that even some of the remaining observations
were based on insufficient data, led to the conclusion that it would be
safer to use two categories instead of three and to include all the data
(with the exception of those for Saudi Arabia).
Experience has shown that the changes in fife expectancy increase
in size up to a certain point and thereafter decrease in size.
Accordingly, regression equations were calculated using linear and
quadratic terms for initial life expectancy.
Fairly good results were obtained for the high group (see Figure
1). The large variance in the low group (Figure 2), particularly in the
countries with lower life expectancies, resulted in a poor fit, but given
the scope of the analysis and the constraints imposed by the data, this was
the best curve that could be found for the group.
With the exception of Saudi Arabia, there was no country in the
low group in which initial life expectancy exceeded fifty-five years. Since
the curve for the low group was almost linear, the extrapolation of
increments for life expectancies of more than fifty-five years would have
resulted in unrealistically high values. It was assumed that countries with
low educational levels will behave similarly to those with high levels when
the former reach the same educational attainment. Therefore, the curve for
the low group was made to coincide with that of the high group at higher
expectations of life at birth (Figure 3). Table 1 shows the expected
increments for the two groups.
For a given expectation of life at birth, survival ratios for
males and females were derived from the Coale-Demeny model life tables,
with mortality levels up to 26 (that is, the expectation of life at birth
for females equals 82.5). These tables are in four sets--North, South,
East, and West. The particular set used for each depends on region and
mortality level, as follows:

Fertility Level and Trend
The principal sources for the base fertility rates were also the
revised U.N. population projections (1984). The total fertility rates (TFR)
for 1985-90 were taken directly from the U.N. source for some of the
developed countries, for a large number of countries in Latin America, and
for a few of the Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries. For several
countries, most of them in Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa,
independent estimates of the TFR were taken from the Bank's economic
reports, the World Fertility Survey, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census. In
some of these sources, fertility measures were given in terms of the crude
birth rate (CBR). The total fertility rate corresponding to the CBR was
estimated by using the available age-sex composition and age-specific
fertility pattern (see Appendix Table A3 for details about sources).
The starting point in estimating future fertility trends is an
assumption about what year the net reproduction rate (NRR) is likely to
reach unity. It is assumed that in all countries the NRR will reach unity
sometime during 2000-2050.
The selection of a year for a particular country is governed by
the following factors: (a) expectation of life at birth for females of that
country during 1985-90, (b) TFR of that country during 1985-90, (c) changes
in the birth rate during 1970-80, and (d) status of the country with respect
to family planning. The year in which NRR = 1 for each country was
determined on the basis of a regression equation estimated from the latest
data available. The estimated variables (a) through (d) were substituted in
the regression to derive the year in which NRR = 1. The nearest year ending
in zero or five was finally selected.
The country's status regarding family planning was estimated on
the basis of the percentage of married women 15-49 years of age who were
currently (latest year available) using some method of,contraception,
including methods used by husbands. Information for a majority of the
countries was readily available from standard sources. For other countries,
7
program statistics were used. The countries were classified into three
categories, based on the strength of the family planning variable:
Family
planning Contraceptive
status prevalence Category
Strong 31 or higher 3
Moderate 16-30 2
Weak 15 or lower 1
For the Sub-Saharan African countries it was also assumed that if
the countries are in the same subregion and have the same demographic
background they will reach a replacement level at more or less the same
time.
The TFR in the year in which NRR = 1 was estimated on the basis of
the country's mortality level in that year. The TFRs for intermediate years
were calculated in three steps. First, an exponential curve was fitted to
the TFR in 1985-90 and to the TFR in the year in which NRR = 1. Second,
this curve was used to estimate the TFR in 1990-95 for Asian, Latin
American, and North African countries where the TFR in 1985-90 was greater
than 3. Third, the TFRs for the other periods were estimated by fitting a
reverse geometric curve in the first segment (up to 1990-95). Such a
procedure ensured a slower decline in the beginning of the projection
period, when fertility rates were high, and a faster decline at the
intermediate level.
The procedure followed for the Sub-Saharan African countries and
for countries where the TFR in 1985-90 was less than 3 was slightly
different. Recent data indicate that the TFR has started to drop in several
Sub-Saharan African countries, such as Botswana, the People's Republic of
the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. In the
well-known zone of low fertility and high sterility in Central Africa,
however, there appears to have been a rise in fertility and fall in
sterility in all the affected areas--the Central African Republic, Chad,
Gabon, Zaire, and so on--for which data are available. Therefore, the
countries in Sub-Saharan Africa were studied one by one. It was assumed
that the TFR would remain constant until 1990-95 in some of them, drop right
away in others, and increase slightly in the rest until 1990-95. Then, in
all of the Sub-Saharan African countries, fertility would decline according
to a reverse geometric curve until half the period between 1990-95 and the
year in which NRR = 1. Thereafter, fertility would decline geometrically to
the replacement level. For a few countries in Asia and the Middle East, it
was also assumed that the TFR would remain constant for some years before
beginning to decline. For the low-fertility countries (TFR < 3), fertility
rates were projected by assuming a geometric decline (or increase where NRR
< 1) to the replacement level.
For the period beyond the year in which NRR 1, the TFRs were
kept at the replacement level and estimated on the basis of the mortality
level at each of the five-year intervals.
8
In some countries fertility is already below replacement level or
will decrease to below replacement level during the next five to ten years.
Since a population will not become stationary if its net reproduction rate
is other than 1, to make estimates of the hypothetical stationary population
in these countries it was necessary to assume that their fertility rates
would regain replacement levels. For the sake of consistency with the
estimates made for other countries, it was assumed that the total fertility
rate in the countries where fertility is already below the replacement rate
would remain constant until 1990-95, increase to the replacement level by
the year 2020, and then remain constant.
The projection model includes the feature that the age pattern of
TFR changes as fertility rates decline. The patterns at TFR = 7.6, 4.1, and
2.8 are shown in Figure 4. For intermediate rates, the age pattern falls
between the curves. In these patterns, the mean age at childbirth declines
from 28.86 years when TFR = 7.6, to 28.45 when TFR = 4.1, and to 27.98 when
TFR = 2.8 (as in the case of Kenya).
Migration Level and Trend
One of the sources for the estimates of international migration
was also the revised U.N. population projections. Other sources were the
documents prepared by the U.N. for the 1984 International Conference on
Population, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Demographic Statistics (Eurostat
1984), and a Bank consultant report on international migration.
Because of the limitations of the data, some amount of
quinquennial net migration by sex was assumed for countries where past and
present trends of migration flow appear to be significant. An age-sex
structure was then created for these countries based on the sex ratio of
migrants.
The estimates of future migration are speculative. For most
economies the net migration rates were assumed to be zero by the year 2000;
for a few they were allowed to continue, but not beyond the year 2025. To
deal with the refugee movements that have occurred recently in Africa, Asia,
and Latin America, the Bank's projections include as migrants only those who
are likely to remain permanently in the receiving countries. The average
quinquennial number of net migrants by sex and net migration rates by
country and region are provided in the detailed country results.
Summary of Results
Population projections were prepared separately for every country
in the world. Since many countries reach stability only after 175 years of
projection, the results are presented at five-year intervals for the period
1985-2030 and at twenty-five-year intervals thereafter.
For each of the 186 separate units, the following information is
presented in the accompanying tables:
9
0 Population by sex and five-year age groups, 1985-2150
0 Birth rate, death rate, rate of natural increase, and growth rate
for five-year periods from 1985-90 to 2025-2030, and twenty-five-
year periods from 2000-2025 to 2125-2150
0 Gross reproduction rate (GRR) and total fertility rate for five-
year periods and twenty-five-year periods
o Net reproduction rate for five-year periods and twenty-five-year
periods
0 Expectation of life at birth (e(3)) and infant mortality rates
(IMR) for males and females separately for five-year periods and
twenty-five-year periods
o Net migrants by sex and net migration rates for the five-year
periods and the twenty-five-year periods.
According to the projections, the total world population would
increase from 4.840 billion in 1985 to 6.176 billion in the year 2000, and
8.188 billion in the year 2025 (see Table 2). The average growth rate
during 1985-90 would be about 1.71 percent per year, decreasing to less than
one percent by 2025. The birth rate would decline by 10 points but the
death rate would decline only by less than 2 points.
The world's population increased by about 83 million in 1985, and
this absolute increase continues to rise. About five years from now, the
increase will peak at around 88 million. The next century will experience
not only a steady decline in the rate of growth, but also a steady decline
in the absolute increase.
Five billion persons. By far the most significant demographic
event of 1987 is the birth of the 5 billionth person of the world. The most
likely date when the total population of the world crossed 5 billion is
sometime between the end of June and early July. According to the figures
given in this report the event occurred on June 24th, rather than, as the
U.N. estimated, on July 11th.
Uncertainties in the total population of some of the large
countries, especially those in Africa that have not taken a proper
population census in recent years, make it difficult to be precise in this
estimate. The monthly growth in the world population in mid-1987 is about 7
million, and in one country alone the uncertainties could be as large as a
month's global growth. For example, for 4igeria, the Bank estimate of the
total population in 1985 was 96 million and the U.N. estimate was 91
million. The difference is equivalent to 20 days of global growth. But
these uncertainties are not large enough to make the margin of error more
than 2 or 3 months. Thus, the chances are very high that the world
population passed 5 billion in the summer of 1987.
Previous and future billions. Table 3 gives the year in which the
world population reached or will reach 1 billion, 2 billion, and so on up to
10 billion. It took an indefinitely long period of time for the world
population to grow to a billion around the turn of the.19th century. But
then, the pace of population growth became more rapid, and in fact the pace
has been accelerating since then. It took about 120 years to reach 2
10
billion, 34 years after that for 3 billion, 14 years more for 4 billion, and
only 13 years more for 5 billion. Thus, each succeeding billion was added
in an ever decreasing period of time.
The projections given in this report indicate that world
population growth, in absolute terms, has not yet reached its maximum,
although the peak is not far off. The 6th and the 7th billions are likely
to be reached in a shorter period of about 12 years, but the subsequent
billions will take longer. Thus the remaining years of this century will
experience relatively stable population growth (in absolute terms) of about
88 million a year. This stability in absolute growth is a result of a
decreasing rate of growth and an increasing total population.
Stationary population. The rate of population growth has been
declining since the latter half of the 1960's when it reached its peak of 2
percent per year. The absolute growth is likely to reach its peak by 1992
and then start declining. But even then the total population will continue
to increase for quite some time. It may take more than a century for the
total population of the world to show a tendency to decrease. What will be
the population of the world be when it stops growing? Any long-term growth
estimation is essentially speculative, and the Bank's estimate is no
exception. According to the estimate in this report, the total population
of the world will not exceed 11 billion. The 10th billion will be reached
around 2070, but the population will stabilize below 11 billion.
Growth diversity by Bank regions. The four Bank regions have very
marked demographic characteristics and growth prospects (see Tables 4 and
Table 5; more detail is presented in Tables 10 and 11 and the Appendix
Figures). At one extreme is the sub-Saharan Africa region with its high
fertility, mortality, and growth rates. The Africa region is expected to
double its population in about 20 years. Asia has the lowest fertility and
growth rate, and is likely to double in population only in 150 years.
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has the lowest mortality
rate, and partly as a result, its growth rate is higher than that of Asia.
The total population of the region is likely to double by 2039. The
stationary population is more than twice its present size.
The Europe-Middle East-North Africa (EMENA) region is
demographically two distinct sub-regions. Its European part has one of the
lowest fertility and growth rates anywhere in the world, but crude mortality
is slightly higher than in some other subregions because of an older age
structure. On the other hand, its Afro-Asian part has growth rates closer
to that of the Africa region. But, unlike Africa, the high growth rate in
the EMENA region is constituted by relatively lower birth and death rates
and a significant immigration rate. The total population of the EMENA
region is expected to double by 2023.
Bank member countries in Asia have more than half the population
6f the world, and the region also contributes nearly half of the world's
annual population growth. But Asia's share in growth will decrease and
Africa's share will overtake Asia's. In the latter half of the twenty-
11
second century, much of the world's population growth will take place in
Africa.
Figure 5 indicates an interesting complementarity between the
growth in Asia and Africa. As growth in one goes up, growth in the other
goes down. By late next century, the Asian contribution will decrease to
less than 30 percent while that of Africa will increase to nearly 55
percent. Twenty five years later, by 2110, the African contribution will
decrease to 30 percent while that of Asia will increase once again to above
40 percent. The relative ranks will change once again later in that
century. These fluctuations are essentially a reflection of the lag in the
African demographic transition.
The Country Departments within the Africa region are fairly
homogeneous; so are the country departments in the Latin American region.
As noted above, the European countries in the EMENA region are very much
different from the rest of the region. In Asia, China stands at one extreme
with the lowest growth rate, and the department constituting Bangladesh,
Nepal, and Sri Lanka stands at the other end with the highest growth rate.
At the national level:
o China has the largest population.
o India makes the largest annual contribution to the world's
population growth.
o Kenya and Rwanda have the highest fertility rates.
o Qatar has the highest growth rate.
o Sierra Leone has the lowest expectation of life at birth.
o Sierra Leone has the highest infant mortality rate.
The projections indicate that, as a result of differentials in
growth, potential future demographic situations will be somewhat different.
India will catch up with China in population size, and the annual population
growth of Nigeria might overtake both India's and China's (Figure 6). The
crude death rates in Nigeria and other African countries will fall below
those of Asian and Latin American countries by 2025 because of younger age
distribution, although their relative ranks with respect to life expectancy
at birth remain the same. Fertility rates will be relatively low and near
replacement level in most countries, and much of the growth will be a
reflection of past demographic momentum.
Consistency of the Projections
Consistency over time. The first set of Bank population projects
were published in the World Development Report 1978, ten years ago. How do
these and other earlier projections compare with more recent attempts?
Table 6 gives a brief comparison of the results of the projections made in
1980 and 1987 for world regions and selected large countries. It shows that
the global estimate made in 1987 is higher than that made in 1980 due to
upward revisions for Africa and Asia. On the other hand, population totals
Cf the Americas or Europe were revised downward.
12
The upward revisions in Africa were a general phenomenon; almost
all countries in the Sub-Saharan region were involved in the increase. Thus
the Bank's assessment of the population growth potential has been revised
upward in the case of Africa during the last ten years.
The present assessment is based on the assumption that family
planning will catch up soon in most of these countries and fertility will
start declining before the end of the century. It is also assumed that once
fertility starts declining, it will continue to decline rather rapidly. The
earlier projections were revised upward because the evidence in recent
years indicates that fertility decline did not begin as early as was assumed
in the earlier projections. If family planning does not catch up or does
not result in fertility reductions, the present projections will have to be
revised upward once again.
In the case of Latin America, the fertility rate for 1985-90 is
revised downward; the actual fertility decline was larger than previously
projected.
In Asia, a significant revision was made in China's growth
prospects. In the last few years, China's fertility has declined so fast.
that demographers generally believe that fertility will remain below
replacement level for a long time. On that basis, it could be projected
that China's population growth will be overtaken by India by the middle of
the next century and the ultimate stationary population of China will be
substantially smaller than India's. But recent revival in China's birth
rate makes this less likely. In this projection, India and China end up
with more or less the same long-term stationary population (see Figure 6).
There are upward revisions in a number of other countries also but
these were more due to revisions in the 1985 total populations than in
assumptions about future trends. For Burkina Faso, the 1985 population was
revised upward from 6.7 to 7.9 million on the basis of new census results.
In Pakistan, the base population was raised from 93.4 million to 96.2
million by the Statistical Office, with consequent changes in future
population.
In general, inconsistencies between recent and past Bank
projections are mainly due to revisions in base population as a result of
better and newer information from censuses and surveys.
Consistency with U.N. projections. How do the Bank estimates and
projections compare with the U.N. figures? Appendix Table B gives a
comparison of the total population of selected countries in 1985, 2000 and
2025 according to these projections and the U.N. 1984 revision, which is the
latest available.
The Bank and the U.N. make an earnest effort to coordinate their
work in projections and to reduce the discrepancies as much as possible.
Therefore, there should not be much difference between' the two sets. Yet,
some differences persist. For 28 countries out of a total of 148 countries
in Appendix Table B, there was no difference at all in the 1985 total
13
population, and the difference was less than 1 percent in 53 other
countries. Among countries with a population of 10 million or more, the
difference was more than 5 percent only for Afghanistan. Thus, the
difference between the Bank and the U.N. is confined to a few countries.
The reasons for persisting differences are several. The Bank
revises its base data on a continuous basis, makes population estimates and
projections annually and publishes the results with little delay. On the
other hand, the U.N. updates its work only once every two years, and
although their results are issued as computer printouts to selected
organizations, the full report is published with much delay. For some
countries, the two organizations have their own special reasons to follow
specific population figures. For example, for Namibia the U.N. is required
to use the estimate provided by the Namibia Commissioner. For Nigeria, the
Bank staff felt it necessary to use the official estimate provided by the
country.
Yet another source of difference is the way information regarding
the degree of underenumeration (or overenuneration) in census results is
treated. Usually, the U.N. estimates imply an assumption of a higher level
of underenumeration than the Bank's estimates. While the Bank uses results
of Post Enumeration Surveys or other direct assessments of underenumeration,
it does not usually correct population totals on the basis of evaluation of
age-sex distribution alone, unless the outcome of such evaluation has been
accepted by national authorities. In the majority of the countries where
the differences are small, the discrepancy is due to differences in the
assumptions about post-censal fertility rates, mortality rates, and
migration rates.
The differences in the projected totals are usually larger than
those in the base population and tend to increase with the period of
projection. Part of the differences in the projected populations is due to
difference in the base values, and the balance due to differences in
methodology and assumptions about fertility, mortality, and migration
trends. An approximate analysis indicates that about a third of the
variance in percent difference between the two sets of projections in 2000
is explained by the difference in base total population; differences in TFR
and life expectancy at birth having only a marginal significance. For 2025
and later periods, base values become less relevant and assumptions about
fertility and mortality trends become more and more important.
The methodological differences are in the use of different model
life tables (the Bank uses Coale-Demeny tables while the U.N. uses U.N. and
a variety of other models); different peri ods for which projections are made
(the Bank projects from 1985 to 2150 and the U.N. projects from 1950 to
2025); and different assumptions about trends in fertility (e.g., the Bank
assumes that fertility increases to replacement level in developed
countries) and mortality (the Bank assumes a relatively slower increase in
life expectancy at birth). But the net effect of methodological differences
is not large. On the whole, differences Ln the Bank and the U.N.
projections are essentially due to differences in the base total population.
14.
If these are made to agree, there will be very little difference in the
projections, at least for the short to medium periods.
Conclusion
World Bank population projections, published annually in its World
Development Reports, and biannually in separate book form have become not
only the Bank's official population figures for its sectoral, project and
analytical work, but also an up-to-date source of demographic data for the
international community of demographers, other social scientists, national
planners, and students of population sciences. The Bank's publications in
this field have some relative merits and some relative disadvantages over
those of the U.N. Advantages include frequent revision and data input from
Bank economists and project officers who are in constant contact with
national officials. These publications also cover short-term and long-term
projections prepared on the basis of the same methodology. Their main
drawback is that so far the Bank publications do not include historical
series to go with future series. In the coming years it is expected that
historical series will also be provided in one form or another.
