World Population Prospects: 2004 Revision just released

The United Nations Population Division is pleased to announce the
release of the 2004 Revision of World Population Prospects.

This important publication, revised every two years, provides population
estimates and projections as well as a full set of analytic demographic
indicators covering the period 1950-2050 for all countries of the world.
These crucial demographic data serve as reference not only for scholarly
work, but also for policy making purposes and intergovernmental
negotiations such as the coming assessment of progress made towards
achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

A discussion of the key findings of the underlying report, "World
Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision" (Highlights) and data on
specific countries can be found on the website of the Population
Division/DESA at www.unpopulation.org. The full results of the 2004
Revision will be issued in a series of three volumes, a wall chart and a
CD-Rom, all of which are currently under preparation.
