This bar chart race shows the annual under 5 year old (0-4) population by country, world regions and world from 1950 and projected until 2100.

Projections are based on median fertility scenario.

Countries and flags are shown as they exist today.

Since 1950, the population of under 5-year-olds worldwide has experienced significant fluctuations. Initially, there was rapid growth due to post-war baby booms, especially in developed nations. However, this trend shifted as fertility rates declined in the latter half of the 20th century, leading to slower growth rates and even declines in some regions. The 21st century brought further changes, with developing countries witnessing a surge in under 5 populations due to sustained high fertility rates, while developed nations continued to experience stagnation or decline.

Projections until 2100 indicate a continuing divergence between developed and developing regions. In developed countries, fertility rates are expected to remain below replacement levels, resulting in a declining under 5 population. Conversely, in many developing nations, high fertility rates will drive substantial growth in this age group. Africa, in particular, is forecasted to experience a significant increase, and its under 5 population may under a higher fertility scenario surpass all other continents combined.

Factors such as improvements in healthcare, education, and economic development will influence these projections. Additionally, interventions aimed at promoting family planning and women's empowerment may alter fertility patterns, potentially impacting future under 5 populations. Understanding these demographic shifts is crucial for policymakers to plan for healthcare, education, and social services to meet the needs of the youngest members of society in the coming decades.

The Global Militarisation Index (GMI) is a measure that assesses the extent of militarization in a country. It's compiled by the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC). The index provides a numerical score to indicate the level of military influence and presence in a given nation.

What does it measure?
The GMI measures how much a country relies on military forces and resources in its society. This includes factors like military spending, the size of armed forces, and the presence of military capabilities.

How are scores assigned?
Countries with higher military expenditures, larger armed forces, and more military infrastructure receive higher scores. Conversely, countries with lower levels of militarization get lower scores.

Why is it important?
The GMI helps us understand the degree to which a country is invested in its military. High scores might indicate a focus on defense or, in some cases, suggest the potential for conflict. On the other hand, lower scores could indicate a more peaceful or demilitarized approach.

What do the scores mean?
The scores are relative and are useful for comparing militarization levels among different countries. A higher score doesn't necessarily mean a country is aggressive, but it suggests a higher degree of military preparedness or reliance.

Who uses it?
Policymakers, researchers, and the general public can use the GMI to gain insights into a country's approach to its military. It can inform discussions about global security, arms control, and peacebuilding efforts.

Remember, the GMI is just one tool among many to understand a country's stance on militarization. It's important to consider other factors and context when interpreting these scores.

Central Government Debt by Country 1950-2022 | Percent of GDP

This bar chart race shows the central government debt by country/territory, in percent of GDP, from 1950 to 2022.

Central government debt refers to the total amount of money that a national government owes to external creditors and domestic lenders. This debt is typically incurred through borrowing to finance government expenditures, such as public infrastructure projects, social programs, and budget deficits. Governments issue bonds and other securities to raise funds, and the accumulation of these financial obligations constitutes the central government debt.

The debt-to-GDP ratio is a key metric used to assess the sustainability of a country's debt. It is calculated by dividing the total central government debt by the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and expressing the result as a percentage. This ratio provides insight into the relative size of the government's debt burden in relation to the overall economic output of the country.

A high debt-to-GDP ratio suggests that a country may face challenges in servicing its debt, as the debt burden is substantial compared to the size of the economy. It could lead to concerns about the government's ability to make interest payments and repay the principal amount. A lower ratio, on the other hand, indicates a more manageable debt level relative to the country's economic output.

Governments aim to strike a balance between borrowing to stimulate economic growth and maintaining a sustainable debt level. Excessive debt can lead to higher interest payments, diverting resources away from essential public services. Therefore, monitoring the central government debt in percentage of GDP is crucial for assessing fiscal health and making informed economic policy decisions.

The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is a report card for how well a country manages the movement of goods. It looks at things like how quickly products can be shipped, how efficient customs procedures are, and the quality of transport infrastructure like roads and ports. Think of it as a way to measure how smoothly and effectively a country handles the process of getting things from one place to another. The higher a country's LPI score, the better they are at managing their logistics and transportation systems.

The higher the LPI score, the better the country's logistics performance. Scores range from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest possible score. In this scale:
A score of 5 would indicate excellent logistics performance, implying that a country's logistics and transportation systems are highly efficient and effective.
A score closer to 1 would suggest poor logistics performance, indicating that there are significant challenges or inefficiencies in the country's logistics and transportation infrastructure.

LPI is produced by the World Bank, starting in 2007, then 2010, 2012,2014,2016,2018 and 2023. It is part of the World Bank's efforts to assess and measure the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics and trade facilitation in different countries around the world. The LPI is based on surveys and data collected from businesses, including freight forwarders and logistics professionals, to gauge their experiences and perceptions of the logistics and transportation systems in various countries. The World Bank then compiles and analyzes this data to create the LPI scores, which are used to rank countries in terms of their logistics performance.

This bar chart race shows accumulated reported terrorist attacks in country, region and world from 1970 to 2021. World numbers are also shown annually.

Data source is Global Terrorism Database (GTD).

GTD defines a terrorist attack as the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non- state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation. In practice this means in order to consider an incident for inclusion in the GTD, all three of the following attributes must be present:

- The incident must be intentional - the result of a conscious calculation on the part of a perpetrator.
- The incident must entail some level of violence or immediate threat of violence -including property violence, as well as violence against people.
- The perpetrators of the incidents must be sub-national actors. The database does not include acts of state terrorism.

In addition, at least two of the following three criteria must be present for an incident to be included in the GTD:
- Criterion 1: The act must be aimed at attaining a political, economic, religious, or social goal. In terms of economic goals, the exclusive pursuit of profit does not satisfy this criterion. It must involve the pursuit of more profound, systemic economic change.
- Criterion 2: There must be evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some other message to a larger audience (or audiences) than the immediate victims. It is the act taken as a totality that is considered, irrespective if every individual involved in carrying out the act was aware of this intention. As long as any of the planners or decision-makers behind the attack intended to coerce, intimidate or publicize, the intentionality criterion is met.
- Criterion 3: The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities. That is, the act must be outside the parameters permitted by international humanitarian law, insofar as it targets non-combatants.

Since data is based on news reports, attacks may be underreported in some countries. Especially in the 1970s.
