World Population Data—Year 2002

Average family size, doubling time and population
of 205 countries and major population areas of the world

FR = fertility rate
(average number of children born to a woman during her lifetime)

DT = population doubling time in years

P = population in millions

npg = negative population growth
(population decreasing, birth rate lower than death rate)

zpg= zero population growth
(birth and death rates equal)
