I-4.Estimated number of children under aged 15 living with HIV.
I-5.Estimated number of children ages 0 to 17 who have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
I-6.Estimated number of adults and children who died of AIDS in 2007.
I-7.To calculate the adult HIV prevalence proportion, the estimated number of adults (15-49 years) living with HIV in 2007 was divided by the 2007 adult population (aged 15-49).
I-8.See the UNAIDS Report for year of data collection.
I-9.Estimated percent of young women aged 15-24 who are living with HIV in 2007.
I-10.Estimated percent of young men aged 15-24 who are living with HIV in 2007.
I-11.Reported percentage of young women aged 15-24 who have had sexual intercourse before the age of 15. From surveys conducted between 2001-2007.
I-12.Reported percentage of young men aged 15-24 who have had sexual intercourse before the age of 15. From surveys conducted between 2001-2007.
I-13.Reported percentage of women aged 15-49 who have had sexual intercourse with more than one partner in the last 12 months. From surveys conducted 2003-2007.
I-14.Reported percentage of men aged 15-49 who had sexual intercourse with more than one partner in the last 12 months. From surveys conducted 2002-2007.
I-15.Reported percentage of women aged 15-49 who had more than one sexual partner in the past 12 months reporting the use of a condom during their last sexual intercourse. From surveys conducted 2003-2007.
I-16.Reported percentage of men aged 15-49 who had more than one sexual partner in the past 12 months reporting the use of a condom during their last sexual intercourse. From surveys conducted 2003-2007.
I-17.Reported percentage of young women aged 15-24 who both correctly identify ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV and who reject major misconceptions about HIV transmission.
I-18.Reported percentage of young men aged 15-24 who both correctly identify ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV and who reject major misconceptions about HIV transmission.
I-19.The coverage of antiretrovirals for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV is calculated by dividing the number of pregnant women living with HIV who received antiretrovirals for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV by the estimated number of pregnant women living with HIV who need antiretrovirals for preventing mother-to-child transmission in the country.
I-20.Estimates of antiretroviral therapy coverage were calculated by dividing the estimated number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy as of December 2007 by the number of people estimated to need treatment in 2007. No coverage was calculated where the estimated need is less than 500.
I-21.The estimated number of people receiving ART at the end of 2007 is derived for low and middle-income countries using two processes: projections to the end of the year for countries that did not report data for December 2007 and analysis of the uncertainty related to these data. Estimates are not available for high-income countries. An increasing number of countries report the number of children younger than 15 years of age receiving ART and they are included in this estimate.
I-22.The percentage of the national population living in areas where health services have adopted DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course).
I-23.The number of new cases reported from DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course) services in 2006
I-24.The number of pregnant women living with HIV who need antiretroviral medicine for PMTCT is estimated using standardized statistical modeling based on UNAIDS/WHO methods.
I-25.The percentage of infants born to women living with HIV receiving antiretrovirals for preventing mother-to-child transmission.
I-26.Most countries have reported data for a full 12-month period in 2006 or 2007. For the countries with data reported for a period of less than 12 months in 2007, values were projected for a 12 month period. Fifteen countries reported data for 2006. They reflect a 12-month period and the values are therefore not projected.
I-27.Measures average achievements in three basic dimensions of human development: life expectancy at birth; adult literacy and school enrollment; and GDP per capita.
I-28.Measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households within a country deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents perfect equality, a value of 100 perfect inequality. Because the underlying household surveys differ in method and in the type of data collected and refer to different years, the distribution data are not strictly comparable across countries.
I-29.Reflects inequalities between men and women using unweighted average of three component indices: life expectancy, education index, and income index.
I-30.Reflects inequalities between men and women using unweighted average of three component indices: life expectancy, education index, and income index. Values range from 0 (lowest gender equality) to 1 (highest gender equality).
I-31.Focusing on women's opportunities rather than their capabilities, GEM captures gender inequality in three key areas: (1) political participation and decisionmaking power, as measured by women's and men's percentage shares of parliamentary seats; (2) economic participation and decisionmaking power, as measured by (a) women's and men's percentage shares of positions as legislators, senior officials, and managers and (b) women's and men's percentage shares of professional and technical positions; and (3) power over economic resources, as measured by women's and men's estimated earned income.
I-32.Focusing on women's opportunities rather than their capabilities, GEM captures gender inequality in three key areas: (1) political participation and decisionmaking power, as measured by women's and men's percentage shares of parliamentary seats; (2) economic participation and decisionmaking power, as measured by (a) women's and men's percentage shares of positions as legislators, senior officials, and managers and (b) women's and men's percentage shares of professional and technical positions; and (3) power over economic resources, as measured by women's and men's estimated earned income. Values range from 0 (lowest gender equality) to 1 (highest gender equality).
I-33.The average number of years a newborn infant can expect to live under current mortality levels.
I-34.Probability of dying between birth and exactly one year of age, expressed per 1,000 live births.
I-35.Probability of dying between birth and exactly five years of age, expressed per 1,000 live births.
I-36.Number of deaths to women per 100,000 live births that result from conditions related to pregnancy, delivery, and related complications. These are consensus estimates of WHO, UNICEF, and UNFPA.
I-37.The probability of a newborn infant surviving to age 65 if subject to prevailing patterns of age specific mortality rates. Data refer to estimates for the period specified.
I-38.Based upon reasonable assumptions on the future course of fertility, mortality, and migration using official country projections, series issued by the U.N. or the U.S. Census Bureau, or PRB projections.
I-39.The birth rate minus the death rate, implying the annual rate of population growth without regard for migration.
I-40.Percentage of total population living in areas termed urban.
I-41.May be thought of as average income. GNI per capita (formerly GNP per capita) = gross national income, converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method (see below), divided by the midyear population. Gross national income = sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies, although an alternative rate is used when the official exchange rate is judged to diverge by an exceptionally large margin from the rate actually applied in international transactions. To smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates, the World Bank uses the Atlas method, which applies a conversion factor that averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country and the G-5 countries (France, Germany, Japan, U.K., and U.S.).
I-42.GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.
I-43.The percentage of the population living below the poverty line deemed appropriate for a country by its authorities. National estimates are based on population-weighted subgroup estimates from household surveys. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
I-44.The percentage of the population living below $1 a day--at 1985 international prices (equivalent to $1.08 at 1993 international prices), adjusted for purchasing power parity. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
I-45.The sum of public and private expenditure (in US$ adjusted for purchasing power parity), divided by the population. Health expenditure includes the provision of health services (preventive and curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities and emergency aid designated for health, but excludes the provision of water and sanitation.
I-46.Includes graduates of a faculty or school of medicine who are working in any medical field (including teaching, research and practice). Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
I-47.The percentage of deliveries attended by personnel (including doctors, nurses and midwives) trained to give the necessary care, supervision and advice to women during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct deliveries on their own and to care for newborns. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
I-48.Percentage of children under five whose weight for age is below minus two standard deviations from median weight for age of reference population. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
I-49.Percentage of new, registered smear-positive (infectious) cases that were cured or in which a full-course treatment was completed. TB case notifications represent only a fraction of the true number of cases arising in a country because of incomplete coverage by health services, inaccurate diagnosis, or deficient recording and reporting.
I-50.Percentage of infants that received three doses of diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus vaccine.
I-51.Data from the United Nations Population Division. The measure indicates the number of children a woman would have during her reproductive years if she bore children at the rate estimated for different age groups in the specified time period. Countries may reach the projected level at different points within the period.
I-52.This is an indicator of the burden of fertility on young women. Since it is an annual level summed over all women in the age cohort, it does not reflect fully the level of fertility for women during their youth. Since it indicates the annual average number of births per woman per year, one could multiply it by five to approximate the number of births to 1,000 young women during their late teen years. The measure does not indicate the full dimensions of teen pregnancy as only live births are included in the numerator. Stillbirths and spontaneous or induced abortions are not reflected. Data are originally from the United Nations Population Division
I-53.The percentage of all women who give birth before their 18th birthday. In countries where only ever-married women are surveyed, data on out-of-wedlock births is not available.
I-54.The number of children enrolled in a level (primary or secondary), regardless of age, divided by the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the same level. This is a standard indicator of the level of participation in education. The goal is to be as close to 100% as possible. In countries with gross enrollment ratios of less than 100%, there are not enough schools or slots for students, and children may not be taking the slots that are available because they are kept out of school. In countries with gross enrollment ratios over 100%, there is much under- and/or overaged enrollment, meaning that many students are above or below the official age for the grade; this may be the result of having to repeat grades or entering school late because of work and/or inability to afford school fees. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
