Abstract
This polygon layer joins the CountryWatch Demographics attribute table to the ESRI Data Maps 2004 : World Countries 2004 datalayer, to enable spatial displaying of CountryWatch attributes. CountryWatch Demographics (table) represents a vast amount of recent demographic information for the countries recognized by the U.S. State Department. World Countries 2004 represents the boundaries for the countries of the world, as they existed in January 2004.
Purpose
CountryWatch Demographics (table) provides geography, population, social indicators, economy, key sectors of each economy and the environment. To display CountryWatch Demographic attributes on a map, this table was joined to a World Countries attribute table using Fips_cntry or Cntry_name as the common field.

GRWTHRAT00
The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries. Source: CountryWatch Calculations Based on US Census Bureau International Database - 2000 estimate.

PERURBAN00
The ratio of the urban population divided by the total population expressed as a percent. Usually the urban area is defined and the residual from the total population is taken as rural. In practice, the criteria adopted for distinguishing between urban and rural areas vary among countries. However, these criteria can be roughly divided into three major groups: classification of localities of a certain size as urban; classification of administrative centres of minor civil divisions as urban; and classification of centres of minor civil divisions on a chosen criterion which may include type of local government, number of inhabitants or proportion of population engaged in agriculture. Thus, the urban and rural population estimates in this domain are based on the varying national definitions of urban areas.

PER0_14_00
The distribution of the population 0-14 years. The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 60 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.

DEATHRAT00
The average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

LIT_RATE00
The ratio of the literate population divided by the total population. Literacy: This entry includes a definition of literacy and Census Bureau percentages for the total population, males, and females. There are no universal definitions and standards of literacy. Unless otherwise specified, all rates are based on the most common definition - the ability to read and write at a specified age. Information on literacy, while not a perfect measure of educational results, is probably the most easily available and valid for international comparisons. Low levels of literacy, and education in general, can impede the economic development of a country in the current rapidly changing, technology-driven world.

GDP_99
The nominal productive capacity of a given country in billions of U.S. dollars. The Gross Domestic Production (GDP) measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. Estimates by CountryWatch.com of real GDP in most countries are made by converting estimates by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the purchasing power parity value of GDP for a reference year for each country to a 1995 base through the use of the US GDP deflator. CIA reference year estimates of real GDP for most countries are given in the 2000 edition of the CIA World Factbook for years ranging from 1993 to 1999. The time series estimates for the years from 1995 to 1999 are generated for non reference year values by utilizing the real GDP growth rates for 1995-1999 given by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the May 2000 edition of the World Economic Outlook. Exceptions to this method were used for: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nauru, Cuba, Palau, Holy See, San Marino, North Korea, Serbia Montenegro, Liberia, Somalia, Liechtenstein, Tonga, Monaco, Tuvalu. In these cases, the data on growth rates for these countries are not available so we cannot update the CIA World Fact Book Purchasing Power Parity Real GDP numbers to the latest year using our standard methodology. Therefore, we employ a method of estimating the economies' growth rates based upon data on output of key sectors of each economy which provides for a consistent methodology for all countries and a reasonable measure of economic growth.

GDP_PCAP99
The standard of living in a given country in U.S. dollars. The Gross Domestic Production (GDP) measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year and a per capita adjustment normalizes this variable by population. GDP is determined through the use of the Purchase Power Parity formulas (PPP). The PPP method involves the use of standardized international dollar price weights, which are applied to the quantities of final goods and services produced in a given economy. The data derived from the PPP method provide the best available starting point for comparisons of economic strength and well being between countries.
