Select locations and sex

Summaries of five key indicators

Data sources: UN WPP 2024, GBD 2023, NCD-RisC, and PISA.
Note: Each mortality line runs from the selected location's most recent value to the lowest most recent value for that outcome and sex across all locations. The height and math lines run from the selected location's most recent value to the highest value for that outcome and sex across all locations. The dot and left label show the selected location's most recent value; the right label shows the best observed value. The triangle shows the projected 2050 value if the percentage rate of change over the past 10 years were to continue; when the trend moves away from the best observed value, the triangle is omitted and a red note with the projected 2050 value indicates the worsening trend. The shared bottom axis shows the projected percentage decrease in the gap to the best observed value by 2050: 50% means the gap is halved and 100% means the best observed value is reached. When the recent trend implies going beyond the best observed value by 2050, the trend line extends to the right edge of the row and a note with the projected value replaces the triangle. The plot background is red below 25%, yellow from 25% to 50%, and green above 50%; the vertical line marks 50% (halving the gap). Mortality rates are per 1000 (conditional on surviving to the start of the age interval). Height is mean height at age 19 in centimeters. Math is the mean PISA mathematics score.
Data sources: UN WPP 2024, GBD 2023, NCD-RisC, and PISA.
Note: Each outcome line runs from the selected location's most recent value to 0. The dot shows the selected location's most recent value. The filled triangle and solid line show the projected 2050 value if the percentage rate of change over the past 10 years were to continue. The open blue triangle and dashed line show the corresponding projection based on the past 5 years. The shared bottom axis shows the projected percentage decrease by 2050. Values at or above 100% are plotted at 100%. Values at or below 0% are plotted at 0%.

Note: For each selected sex, the scale includes average annual percentage declines among countries and territories with 2023 population greater than 5 million. Each selected location has a filled marker for the 10-year decline and an open blue marker for the 5-year decline.

The control can switch the scale to percentiles, where percentiles were constructed among countries with 2023 population greater than 5 million but are assigned to all locations. Marker labels show the original values. The triangle is the most recent value and is colored by prospect under continuation of the average annual rate of change observed between the baseline and most recent observations: red means the location would not reach the target of halving the outcome by 2050, yellow means it would get at least 80% of the way to that target but still fall short, and green means it would reach or exceed the halving target. Mortality rates are per 1000 (conditional on surviving to the start of the age interval). Height gap is relative to the Netherlands in 2019 (the tallest country).

Note: For each sex, each outcome uses one scale constructed from locations listed under Countries and territories; selected locations outside that group can still be plotted. Each line runs from the highest observed value for that outcome and sex to 0. The controls can switch to a log base 2 scale, define the scale after excluding the highest 20% of observations used only for scale construction, or define the scale from the currently selected countries and sexes; selected locations remain in the figure. When the earlier value exceeds the shortened scale, the line begins at the left edge of the scale and the most recent value is still shown. When both values exceed the shortened scale, the figure indicates this on the row. The black dot is the baseline value. The triangle is the most recent value and is colored by prospect under continuation of the average annual rate of change observed between the baseline and most recent observations: red means the location would not reach the target of halving the outcome by 2050, yellow means it would get at least 80% of the way to that target but still fall short, and green means it would reach or exceed the halving target.

Note: These figures show whether locations seem to be on track to halve each outcome by 2050 based on recent trends. Recent trends are measured as average annual rate of decline between a baseline year and the most recent year with available data, usually 10 years apart (for math scores, the gap may be different because data are not available for all years). Each line has its own scale, running from the baseline value for that outcome to 0; if the outcome has worsened over time, the line instead runs from the most recent value to 0. Mortality rates are per 1000 (conditional on surviving to the start of the age interval). Height gap is relative to average height in the top 10 countries. Math gap is relative to Singapore in 2022 (the best performer).

The row caption indicates the scale group. For the selected location, the red dot is the baseline value, the blue arrow is the most recent value, the green star is half of the most recent value (the goal), and the yellow diamond is the 2050 value projected from average annual rate of decline between the baseline and most recent observations.

For each selected location, the red dot is the baseline value, the blue arrow is the most recent value, the green star is half of the most recent value (the goal), and the yellow diamond is the 2050 value projected from average annual rate of decline between the baseline and most recent observations. Mortality rates for ages 1-59 months are per 1000 children surviving to age 1 month.

Note: Countries and territories with 2023 population greater than 5 million are ranked by 2023 mortality before age 20 for both sexes combined. Divider rows show the under-20 mortality tercile boundaries. Outcome columns show the most recent available value for both sexes combined, with the observation year in parentheses.

Note: This traditional star plot uses the same five indicators as the figure above. Each spoke corresponds to one outcome. In the default view, each spoke runs from the minimum to the maximum observed value for that outcome and sex across locations. The red line shows the earlier observation and the blue line shows the more recent observation for each outcome. Use the switch below to show percentile positions instead, calculated within each outcome, sex, and year across locations. Mortality rates are per 1000 (conditional on surviving to the start of the age interval). Height gap is relative to average height in the top 10 countries. Math gap is relative to Singapore in 2022 (the best performer).

Note: These figures show whether locations seem to be on track to halve each outcome by 2050 based on recent trends. Recent trends are measured as average annual rate of decline between a baseline year and the most recent year with available data, usually 10 years apart (for math scores, the gap may be different because data are not available for all years). Each spoke has its own scale, running from the baseline value for that outcome to 0; if the outcome has worsened over time, the spoke instead runs from the most recent value to 0. The green line across a spoke shows the value the most recent observation would need to be at to suggest that the outcome is declining fast enough to be halved by 2050. If the most recent value is worse than the baseline value, no green line is shown because the location is moving away from the target. Mortality rates are per 1000 (conditional on surviving to the start of the age interval). Height gap is relative to average height in the top 10 countries. Math gap is relative to Singapore in 2022 (the best performer).
