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 constant local currency.World Bank national accounts data,

training, organization, equipment, and control suggest they may be
used to support or replace regular military forces. Labor force

people who could potentially be economically active. Population is
based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all
residents regardless of legal status or citizenship--except for
refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are
generally considered part of the population of the country of
origin.The United Nations Population Division's World Population

crude (per 1,000 people)Crude death rate indicates the number of
deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at
midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate
provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate
of population change in the absence of migration.(1) United Nations

total (% of total employed)Wage and salaried workers (employees)
are those workers who hold the type of jobs defined as "paid

their own account or with one or a few partners or in cooperative,
hold the type of jobs defined as a "self-employment jobs." i.e.
jobs where the remuneration is directly dependent upon the profits
derived from the goods and services produced. Self-employed workers
include four sub-categories of employers, own-account workers,
members of producers' cooperatives, and contributing family
workers.International Labour Organization, Key Indicators of the

estimate)Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution
of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among
individuals or households within an economy deviates from a
perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative
percentages of total income received against the cumulative number
of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household.
The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a
hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage
of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0
represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect
inequality.World Bank, Development Research Group. Data are based
on primary household survey data obtained from government
statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. For more

price index (2010 = 100)Consumer price index reflects changes in
the cost to the average consumer of acquiring a basket of goods and

as yearly. The Laspeyres formula is generally used. Data are period
averages.International Monetary Fund, International Financial

trade index (2000 = 100)Net barter terms of trade index is
calculated as the percentage ratio of the export unit value indexes
to the import unit value indexes, measured relative to the base
year 2000. Unit value indexes are based on data reported by
countries that demonstrate consistency under UNCTAD quality
controls, supplemented by UNCTAD's estimates using the previous
years trade values at the Standard International Trade
Classification three-digit level as weights. To improve data
coverage, especially for the latest periods, UNCTAD constructs a
set of average prices indexes at the three-digit product
classification of the Standard International Trade Classification
revision 3 using UNCTADs Commodity Price Statistics, international
and national sources, and UNCTAD secretariat estimates and
calculates unit value indexes at the country level using the
current year's trade values as weights.United Nations Conference on
