This article analyses the types of vital statistical data available in the 58 major statistical areas of the world, covering about half the world population. The information for the rest of the world can be assumed to be even less complete.Tables are given showing the number of areas supplying information for the various tabulations in the vital statistics section of the United Nations Demographic Yearbook, and the availability of each tabulation for each area. Other tables indicate which items of substantive interest are given on national statistical-report forms in the same areas, and with what frequency.
