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.

ESRI PERURBAN00 PERURBAN00 Number 12 2 CountryWatch.com 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.

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.

ESRI GDP_99 GDP_99 Number 9 CountryWatch.com 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.
