World Population Prospects; The 2004 Revision.

(referred by Analucia ruggiero - PAHO) and recommended the AMICOR JAIME [mailto:jaime@prudente.unesp.br]
The 2004 Revision is the nineteenth round of official United Nations population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. These are used throughout the United Nations system as the basis for activities requiring population information. The 2004 Revision is the first to incorporate the full results of the 2000 round of national population censuses.

It also takes into account the results of recent specialized surveys carried out in developing countries to provide both demographic information and data to assess the progress made in achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The comprehensive review of past worldwide demographic trends and future prospects presented in the 2004 Revision provides the population basis for the assessment of those goals.
