THE STATE OF THE WORLDS CHILDREN 2014 IN NUMBERS

Introduction
Thirty years have passed since The State of the Worlds Children began to publish tables of standardized global and national statistics aimed at providing a detailed picture of childrens circumstances. Much has changed in the decades since the rst indicators of child well-being were presented. But the basic idea has not: Credible data about childrens situations are critical to the improvement of their lives and indispensable to realizing the rights of every child. Data continue to support advocacy and action on behalf of the worlds 2.2 billion children, providing governments with facts on which to base decisions and actions to improve childrens lives. And new ways of collecting and using data will help target investments and interventions to reach the most vulnerable children. Data do not, of themselves, change the world. They make change possible by identifying needs, supporting advocacy, and gauging progress. What matters most is that decision-makers use the data to make positive change, and that the data are available for children and communities to use in holding duty-bearers to account.

Lives behind the numbers


Consider the tables that follow this essay: the rows and columns of numbers, the array of ne print. Here, reduced to stark symbols, are the present and future of nations: children. As your eyes move from column to column, some of the many facets of their lives unfold. The numbers tell stories about the circumstances in which children are born and cared for, grow and learn, work and connect with others, and make their way in the world. Pick a country, any country. What proportion of births is registered, and how many children are thus granted an ofcial identity and the rights that ow from it rights to services, protection, the exercise of citizenship? How many children die within a year of being born, and how many never live to see their fth birthday? How long can those who do survive expect to live? Are they receiving essential vaccines and medicines to protect them against the diseases that prey on the young

and vulnerable? Are they getting the nourishment they need for their bodies and minds to thrive? Do they have clean water for drinking and washing, and access to safe, hygienic toilets? What percentage of children enter primary school, and how many make it to secondary school? How many are put to work or married while still children? Do they enter adolescence equipped with the knowledge to protect themselves against HIV? The data show that tremendous progress has been made during the past few decades:

All rights, every child


In creating the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the international community has recognized that children are people who have rights that must be respected equally to those of adults. Four main principles form the core of the CRC: Non-discrimination or universality (article 2): All children have rights, regardless of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status. Best interests (article 3): The childs best interests must be a primary consideration in all decisions affecting her or him. Life, survival and development (article 6): All children have a right to life, and to survive and develop physically, mentally, spiritually, morally, psychologically and socially to their full potential. Respect for the views of the child (article 12): Children have the right to express themselves freely on matters that affect them, and to have their views taken seriously.

poor one; whether they are born girls or boys, into families rich or poor; or whether they live in the countryside or the city and there, too, whether they live in well-to-do areas or impoverished neighbourhoods. Of the roughly 18,000 children under 5 years old who die every day, a

disproportionate number are from parts of cities or the countryside that are cut off from services because of poverty or geography. Many could be saved by proven means and at little cost. Although diarrhoea can be treated effectively and inexpensively with

By articulating childrens rights and obliging States Parties to respect, protect and full them, the CRC provides a strong impetus for the collection, analysis and dissemination of data. In order to survive and develop to their full potential, children need health care, nutritious food, education that nurtures their minds and equips them with useful knowledge and skills, freedom from violence and exploitation, and the time and space to play. The right to life, survival and development thus points to a wide range of indicators that must be measured in order to make sure that this right is realized. Combating discrimination and inequity entails identifying children who are discriminated against and excluded from services and opportunities. To this end, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the body charged with tracking implementation of the CRC, has urged that data be disaggregated by

age, sex, urban and rural residence, membership in minority or indigenous groups, ethnicity, religion, disability and any other category considered appropriate.8 The Committee has further emphasized that it is not enough to collect data. In order to identify problems and inform policies, the data also need to be analysed, disseminated to the public and used to assess progress in realizing childrens rights.9 The CRCs guarantee of the right to be heard requires that adults who make decisions affecting childrens lives listen to children deeply and seriously, giving due respect and consideration to their views. Children therefore need safe, meaningful opportunities to participate in research, as well as access to the fruits of data collection and analysis.

They account for less than half of the worlds population but make up 83 per cent of those still deprived of a reliable source of safe drinking water.

Data have played a key role in achieving that progress and are essential in identifying the most disadvantaged of the worlds 2.2 billion children, understanding the barriers they confront, and designing and monitoring initiatives that make it possible for every child to realize her or his rights. Evidence has both reected and galvanized commitment to childrens rights. It has spurred not only greater awareness of the realities that confront children but also improvement in those realities. The importance of data won new recognition when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the CRC on 20 November 1989. In addition to codifying childrens rights and promising to full them, States Parties to the Convention

Topics covered in Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS)


Developed in the early 1990s by UNICEF and conducted by national authorities, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) are the largest source of statistical information on children. Each survey is made up of discrete modules on specic topics. Countries can choose which modules to use based on relevance to their situation. Survey methods are standardized, so data can be compared over time and across countries. Data are disaggregated by sex, education, wealth, residence or other factors to reveal disparities. The surveys have been designed to provide a manageable framework with which to monitor progress towards global goals. Each survey typically samples around 10,000 households and includes interviews with women and men aged 1549 years, as well as mothers and caretakers of all children under age 5. The number of topics covered has increased substantially over the years as demand for data has grown.

Objective measurements, such as blood tests, help monitor the prevalence of health conditions.

THE STATE OF THE WORLDS CHILDREN 2014 IN NUMBERS

New approaches
New tools and partnerships are yielding new ways to collect and share data and, in some cases, are testing old assumptions. In the absence of cost-effective, periodic and standardized water quality testing, the World Health Organization and UNICEF made use of an improved water source a proxy for sustainable access to safe drinking water. The presence of a protected well makes it more likely that the water is safe but until recently there was no way to be sure. Now that new, rapid, low-cost water quality testing kits are available, MICS and Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) are piloting a water quality module that will actually test households water for E. coli. 12 Similarly, household surveys use objective measurements to produce more accurate estimates of the prevalence of HIV and other health conditions. Previously, HIV prevalence was estimated mostly from sentinel surveillance systems that monitored pregnant women in antenatal care. In 2001, the Mali DHS included HIV testing allowing prevalence estimates to be drawn from a nationally representative, population-based sample (now including men). This led the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and governments to adjust their ofcial HIV prevalence estimates, and also improved understanding of the social, demographic and behavioural aspects of the pandemic. 13 Mobile phone technologies are cutting the time it takes to assess and respond to situations affecting children. M-Trac, a health management information system in Uganda, uses text messages sent by health workers to alert public health ofcials to outbreaks of disease and to let them know how much medicine is on hand at health facilities so they can anticipate and resolve any shortages. Uganda also is home to Ureport, a text message-based means by which members of the public can lodge anonymous complaints about service delivery. Other efforts seek to extract useful information from satellite imagery, trafc sensors, social media, the blogosphere, online searches, mobile banking, hotline usage and other contributors to the hubbub of modern life. Numerous initiatives are exploring ways to mine such big data for nuggets that can inform policymakers about peoples well-being and help them to pinpoint vulnerabilities. Different tools and methods will suit different purposes. Innovations in real-time data collection may not be suited to the job of monitoring global commitments, which requires nationally representative data collected in a standard format for comparison across countries and over time. But experiments like those above have the potential to solve problems at the local level.

obligated themselves to report regularly on the state of their children. The following September, when the CRC entered into force, leaders at the World Summit for Children set specic goals to improve the survival, development, education and protection of children by the year 2000.14 In 2001, global goal-setting gained further afrmation and scope with the adoption of the eight MDGs, each with specic targets that would require monitoring through 2015. These landmarks in international public policy constituted an unprecedented expression of commitment to childrens rights. They also required data comparable between countries and over time in order to monitor progress and prospects. UNICEF was charged with charting global progress toward the health-related MDGs. Many actors contribute to the monitoring effort, including national authorities, multilateral organizations and interagency groups, universities and nongovernmental organizations. For its part, UNICEF developed Multiple Indicator

Cluster Surveys (MICS), which are conducted by national statistical ofces. The importance of monitoring cannot be overstated: It measures the extent to which commitments made on the political stage are honoured in the homes, clinics, schools and streets where children live. With reliable data, disseminated effectively and used judiciously, monitoring makes it impossible for the denial of rights to go unnoticed.

Telling untold stories


Being counted makes children visible, and this act of recognition makes it possible to address their needs and advance their rights. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, the 2010 MICS found that only 28 per cent of births had been registered. Rapid surveys modelled on UNICEFs Monitoring Results for Equity Systems framework further revealed that the denial of the right to an ofcial identity led to more deprivations denying access to health, education and other services.

Action plans developed and implemented with community involvement led to a surge in birth registration in one district, from 6 per cent in June 2012 to 41 per cent in December 2012. Pregnant women also beneted: 58 per cent received at least four antenatal care visits, up from 16 per cent six months earlier.15

But not all children are being counted, and not to be counted only perpetuates invisibility and voicelessness. This puts children at greater risk. Groups commonly undercounted or overlooked include children living in institutions or temporary housing, children in detention, children living and working on the street, children with disabilities, trafcked children,

migrant children, internally displaced and refugee children, and children from ethnic minorities living in remote areas or following a nomadic or pastoralist way of life.16 Many children in these categories experience intersecting forms of discrimination and deprivation. Data

collected must be further broken down to reveal how marginalization on account of disability, detention or migration, for example, is also affected by such factors as wealth, sex or where a child lives. Efforts are being made to extend data collection to cover children previously excluded. UNICEF and its partners in the

Numbers and narratives


Quantitative data consist of numbers that can represent anything from the proportion of children entering school to the prevalence of a given disease or the distribution of knowledge about how young people can reduce their risk of exposure to HIV. Qualitative data come from in-depth interviews, observations or visuals such as photographs or maps. Quantitative data produce such bedrock indicators as wealth, which includes information about household members religion, ethnicity and occupation; the number of rooms in their dwelling; the materials from which its oor, roof and walls are made; whether it has electricity, a bed, a table or a bicycle; and whether the household owns land or livestock. This complex indicator serves as the basis for the wealth quintiles that are used to analyse disparities in childrens enjoyment of the full spectrum of rights.17 Quantitative and qualitative data complement each other, enabling a detailed and nuanced appreciation of childrens realities. Take, for example, Young Lives, a long-term study of childhood poverty in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Viet Nam. It combines household surveys of 12,000 children (conducted every three years) with case studies that use interviews, childrens diaries and child-led neighbourhood tours to delve into topics ranging from childrens socio-economic status and access to services, to how children spend their time, what they think has shaped their current situation, how they feel about it and what goals they aspire to. Alongside the aggregate picture of childrens circumstances that emerges from the household survey data, the qualitative data from the case studies are woven into narratives that highlight specic issues affecting childrens lives from an individual childs perspective.

Washington Group on Disability Statistics, for example, are developing tools to help identify children with disabilities and the deprivations they face.18 Other overlooked issues such as early childhood development, the importance of which went largely unrecognized by policymakers until recently also demand closer attention. Research in neurobiology has shown that disadvantages in early childhood can haunt a person into adulthood: poor health and nutrition in early life can impair a childs ability to learn and, consequently, to earn a living.19 Data on early childhood development, the topic of Table 14, have accumulated steadily since MICS started surveying households on the subject in 2000. Even so, reliable data are still available for only about one-third as many countries as are data on the relatively well-established topics covered in other tables. The sensitive nature of some issues violence against children, for instance, or such harmful traditional practices as female genital mutilation/cutting

complicates data collection. Great care must be taken to ensure the safety of the children who are the subjects of or participants in research. In 2011, the Committee on the Rights of the Child noted the lack of data on the root causes of violence against children.20 Researchers are working to ll the gaps: Governments, UNICEF and others are developing and conducting national and multi-country studies. Examples include recent surveys in Cambodia, Haiti, Kenya,21 Malawi, the United Republic of Tanzania22 and Zimbabwe. Many more countries are waiting to conduct their own surveys on violence against children. New data have also been collected on female genital mutilation/cutting. In 2013, UNICEF published the rst report summarizing and analysing data from the 29 countries where the practice is most prevalent, in addition to presenting new data on girls younger than 15.23 In so doing, it presented work that could be used to respond to a United Nations General Assembly resolution of the previous year demanding intensied

Children drive change


Children are the experts on their own lives. They can contribute valuable knowledge to validate and enrich the evidence base if only they have a chance to be heard. They can also use knowledge that they obtain through research to effect change in their communities. Take the example of Kundapura Taluk, in Indias Karnataka state, where a dozen children drowned in unprotected irrigation areas during the 2012 monsoon. The Concerned for Working Children (CWC), a nongovernmental child rights organization, reports that these deaths prompted children who survived the rains to map danger zones within the community. In the process, the children discovered that many ponds and ditches had been dug without the local governments knowledge alongside paths frequented by children. Their ndings led to the introduction of new mandatory guidelines on the use of safety enclosures, signboards and other low-cost ways to secure irrigation ponds. No further accidents were reported in 2012, and when the rains returned in 2013, not a single accident was reported in the community of more than 377,000 people. Innovations in data collection are opening new avenues for childrens participation. UNICEF, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science, and Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases and Disasters are developing a mapping platform that enables real-time data collection using web and mobile applications. Young people in low-income communities of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Port-au-Prince, Haiti, have used mobile phones loaded with a Geographic Information System application to take geotagged photos documenting neighbourhood problems. In Rio, their vigilance has led to the removal of piled-up garbage and the repair of a bridge. Work by adolescents in Rio and in Port-au-Prince is ongoing, and in late 2013 the programme was expanded to Buenos Aires, Argentina.24 These examples represent signicant victories for children. Children are using data to improve their own situation as well as the infrastructure and services used by their community as a whole. In the process, they are learning the power of evidence and gaining the condence to advocate for their own rights. These examples involve serious but relatively straightforward issues. Other issues, like abuse, can be fraught with difculty, and they highlight the need for safeguards. Although children are agents of knowledge and change when they participate in research, they are also vulnerable and dependent. They need to feel and to be safe and listened to. Adults involved in participatory research therefore have an obligation to ensure childrens safety and privacy. Children who disclose abuse must not be exposed to retribution by perpetrators, and children who have experienced traumatic events must not be pushed to talk about them more than is strictly necessary. Risks are worth taking only if the results benet the child.

global efforts to eliminate the practice. The resolution specically called for data to be collected using unied methods and standards.25 Progress has made it possible to expand the scope of research. As more children are living past their fth birthdays, and as many families and countries have become better off, research is looking beyond survival and basic health to encompass the many factors that contribute to childrens development and the quality of their lives.

Whether worthy targets are set and achieved will depend on many factors not the least of these being whether development decision-makers heed the evidence and listen seriously to poor or otherwise marginalized children and communities. Fortunately for decision-makers, the crucial evidence is being provided by household surveys, which cover large numbers of people and use methods capable of generating reliable, standardized, comparable data based on peoples actual experiences. Increasingly, children and young people are participating in research and the advocacy that it makes possible. Children and their communities have the right to be provided with information

about their lives and to participate in decision-making that affects them. These rights to information and participation are ends in themselves. They also make development programmes more effective. Data provide evidence on which to base decisions and with which to evaluate action. Information and participation enable people to demand change and hold duty-bearers to account. Overcoming exclusion begins with inclusive data. To improve the reach, availability and reliability of data on the deprivations with which children and their families contend, the tools of collection and analysis are constantly being modied and new ones are being developed. This will require sustained investment and commitment. Data show that progress is being made but that disparities in childrens circumstances persist. Data are identifying the children at greatest risk those least visible and furthest from societys reach. It is up to decisionmakers at all levels, from ofcialdom to the grass roots, to make sure that every child is granted the opportunity to fully enjoy her or his rights.

A selection of indicators and what they tell us about childrens lives


1 Underweight/Stunting/Wasting: Wellnourished children perform better in school, grow into healthy adults and, in turn, give their own children a better start in life. Malnourished children are identied by assessing whether they are of a healthy weight for their age, a healthy height for their age and a healthy weight for their height. 2 Use of insecticide-treated nets: These nets are crucial to preventing malaria. Sleeping under them every night can cut the number of deaths by about 20% among children under 5. 3 Violent discipline: Many parents and caregivers still use physical punishment or psychological aggression as a way to correct childrensmisbehaviour. Such practices violate childrens human rights. 4 Use of improved drinking water sources 6 Immunization coverage: Immunization against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, childhood tuberculosis, polio and measles has saved millions of lives, protected countless children from illness and disability, and contributed to reducing poverty. It is one of the most important and cost-effective public health interventions. 7 Exclusive breastfeeding: Breastmilk alone is the perfect food for all infants in the rst six months of life. The practice of exclusive breastfeeding provides much more than an ideal food source: exclusively breastfed infants are much less likely to die from diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections and other diseases; and exclusive breastfeeding has been found to support infants immune systems and protect from chronic diseases later in life such as obesity and diabetes. 8 Care for pneumonia and diarrhoea: These diseases are leading killers of children. Of the estimated 6.6 million deaths among children under 5 in 2012, 17% were due to pneumonia and 9% to diarrhoea. The death toll is highly concentrated in the poorest regions and countries and among the most disadvantaged children within these societies. Yet treatments are inexpensive and effective. 9 Comprehensive knowledge of HIV: Young people aged 1524 accounted for about one third of new HIV infections in 2012. Young people have the right to knowledge with which to protect themselves. 10 Skilled attendant at birth: Insufcient care during pregnancy and delivery was largely responsible for nearly 300,000 maternal deaths in 2010 and almost 3 million deaths among children less than a month old in 2012. In order to ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and child, a skilled doctor, nurse or midwife should attend the birth. 11 Primary and secondary school enrolment: Despite decades of commitments made and reafrmed, some 57 million primary school-aged children were out of school in 2011, denied their right to a quality education. Only 64% of boys and 61% of girls of secondary school age are enrolled in secondary school worldwide, and 36% and 30%, respectively, in the least developed countries. 12 Youth literacy and Adult literacy rate: Basic reading, writing and numeracy skills are essential to individual well-being and societal development. 13 Child labour: Many children work to help their families in ways that are neither harmful nor exploitative. But millions of others are put to work in ways that interfere with their education, drain their childhood of joy and crush their right to normal physical and mental development. 14 Use of mass media: Mass media provide information and opportunities for children and young people to express ideas and connect with others. They can also expose children to inappropriate content and unwelcome contact. 15 Adolescent pregnancy: Pregnancy can harm adolescent girls health and future prospects. Less likely to nish school or to obtain work that allows them to become economically independent, adolescent mothers along with their children can become trapped in poverty.

and sanitation facilities: People have a right to an adequate supply of safe drinking water and sanitation. The lack of these contributes to deaths and illness, especially among children. Each day, on average, more than 1,400 children die from diarrhoeal diseases because of contaminated drinking water, lack of sanitation and poor hygiene.
5 Birth registration: Every child has the right to an

identity. Those who go unregistered may not be able to claim the services and protections due to them on an equal basis with other children.

Overview
This reference guide presents the most recent key statistics on child survival, development and protection for the worlds countries, areas and regions. The statistical tables in this volume support UNICEFs focus on progress and results towards internationally agreed-upon goals and compacts relating to childrens rights and development. UNICEF is the lead agency responsible for monitoring the child-related goals of the Millennium Declaration as well as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and indicators. UNICEF is also a key partner in the United Nations work on monitoring these targets and indicators. Efforts have been made to maximize the comparability of statistics across countries and time. Nevertheless, data used at the country level may differ in terms of the methods used to collect data or arrive at estimates, and in terms of the populations covered. Furthermore, data presented here are subject to evolving methodologies, revisions of time series data (e.g., immunization, maternal mortality ratios) and changing regional classifications. Also, data comparable from one year to the next are unavailable for some indicators. It is therefore not advisable to compare data from consecutive editions of The State of the Worlds Children. The numbers presented in this reference guide are available online at <www.unicef.org/sowc2014> and via the UNICEF global statistical databases at <www.childinfo.org>. Please refer to these websites for the latest tables and for any updates or corrigenda subsequent to printing.

General note on the data


Data presented in the following statistical tables are derived from the UNICEF global databases and are accompanied by definitions, sources and, where necessary, additional footnotes. The tables draw on inter-agency estimates and nationally representative household surveys such as Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). In addition, data from other United Nations organizations have been used. Data presented in this years statistical tables generally reflect information available as of August 2013. More detailed information on methodology and data sources is available at <www.childinfo.org>. This volume includes the latest population estimates and projections from World Population Prospects: The 2012 revision and World Urbanization Prospects: The 2011 revision (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division). Data quality is likely to be adversely affected for countries that have recently suffered disasters, especially where basic country infrastructure has been fragmented or where major population movements have occurred. Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS): UNICEF supports countries in collecting reliable and globally mapped data through MICS. Since 1995, about 250 surveys have been conducted in more than 100 countries and areas. The fifth round of MICS, involving over 40 surveys to date, is under way. MICS are among the largest sources of data for monitoring progress towards internationally agreed-upon development goals for children, including the MDGs. More information is available at <www.childinfo.org/mics.html>.

Child mortality estimates


Each year, in The State of the Worlds Children, UNICEF reports a series of mortality estimates for children including the annual neonatal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, the under-five mortality rate (total, male and female) and the number of under-five deaths for at least two reference years. These figures represent the best estimates available at the time of printing and are based on the work of the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME), which includes UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank and the United Nations Population Division. IGME mortality estimates are updated annually through a detailed review of all newly available data points, which often results in adjustments to previously reported estimates. As a result, consecutive editions of The State of the Worlds Children should not be used for analysing mortality trends over time. Comparable global and regional under-five mortality estimates for the period 19702012 are presented on page 23. Country-specific mortality indicators for 19702012, based on the most recent IGME estimates, are presented in Table 10 (for the years 1970, 1990, 2000 and 2012) and are available at <www.childinfo.org> and <www.childmortality.org>.

Notes on specific tables


TABLE 2. NUTRITION Underweight, stunting, wasting and overweight: UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank have continued a process to harmonize anthropometric data used for computation and estimation of regional and global averages and trend analysis. As part of this process, regional and global averages for underweight (moderate and severe), stunting, wasting and overweight prevalences are derived from a model described in M. de Onis et al., Methodology for Estimating Regional and Global Trends of Child Malnutrition (International Journal of Epidemiology, vol. 33, 2004, pp. 12601270). Owing to differences in data sources (i.e., new empirical data are incorporated as made available) and estimation methodology, these regional average prevalence estimates may not be comparable to the averages published in previous editions of The State of the Worlds Children. Vitamin A supplementation: Emphasizing the importance for children of receiving two annual doses of vitamin A (spaced 46 months apart), this report presents only full coverage of vitamin A supplementation. In the absence of a direct method to measure this indicator, full coverage is reported as the lower coverage estimate from rounds 1 and 2 in a given year. TABLE 3. HEALTH Water and sanitation: The drinking water and sanitation coverage estimates in this report come from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP). These are the official United Nations estimates for measuring progress towards the MDG target for drinking water and sanitation. Full details of the JMP methodology can be found at <www.childinfo.org> and <www .wssinfo.org>. As the JMP estimates use linear regression applied to data from all available household sample surveys and censuses, and additional data become available between each issue of estimates, subsequent JMP estimates should not be compared. Immunization: This report presents WHO and UNICEF estimates of national immunization coverage. These are official United Nations estimates for measuring progress towards the MDG indicator for measles-containing vaccine coverage. Since 2000, the estimates are updated once annually in July, following a consultation process wherein countries are provided draft reports for review and comment. As the system incorporates new empirical data, each annual revision supersedes prior data releases, and coverage levels from earlier revisions are not comparable. A more detailed explanation of the process can be found at <www.childinfo.org/ immunization_ countryreports.html>. Diarrhoea treatment: The table includes diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS). ORS is a key commodity for child survival and therefore it is crucial to monitor its coverage. This replaces the indicator used in previous years, diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration therapy and continued feeding, which will continue to be available at <www.childinfo.org>. Regional averages for the six reported antigens are computed as follows: For BCG, regional averages include only those countries where BCG is included in the national routine immunization schedule. For DPT, polio, measles, HepB and Hib vaccines, regional averages include all countries. For protection at birth (PAB) from tetanus, regional averages include only the countries where maternal and neonatal tetanus is endemic. TABLE 4. HIV/AIDS In 2013, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) released new global, regional and country-level HIV and AIDS estimates for 2012 that reflect key changes in WHO HIV treatment guidelines for adults and children and for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, in addition to improvements in assumptions of the probability of HIV transmission from mother to child and net survival rates for infected children. Furthermore, there are also more reliable data available from population-based surveys, expanded national sentinel surveillance systems and programme service statistics in a number of countries. Based on the refined methodology, UNAIDS has retrospectively generated new estimates of HIV prevalence, the number of people living with HIV and those needing treatment, AIDSrelated deaths, new HIV infections and the number of children whose

STATISTICAL TABLES

27

parents have died due to all causes including AIDS for past years. Only new estimates should be used for trend analysis. The new HIV and AIDS estimates included in this table are also published in the UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, 2013. Overall, the global and regional figures published in The State of the Worlds Children 2014 In Numbers are not comparable to estimates previously published. More information on HIV and AIDS estimates, methodology and updates can be found at <www.unaids.org>. TABLE 8. WOMEN Maternal mortality ratio (adjusted): The table presents the adjusted maternal mortality ratios for the year 2010, as published in 2012 by the Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (MMEIG), composed of WHO, UNICEF, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Bank, together with independent technical experts. To derive these estimates, the inter-agency group used a dual approach: making adjustments to correct misclassification and underreporting in existing estimates of maternal mortality from civil registration systems, and using a model to generate estimates for countries without reliable national-level estimates of maternal mortality. These adjusted estimates should not be compared with previous inter-agency estimates. The full report with complete country and regional estimates for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, in addition to details on the methodology can be found at <www.childinfo.org/maternal_mortality.html>. TABLE 9. CHILD PROTECTION Birth Registration: Changes in the definition of birth registration were made from the second and third rounds of MICS (MICS2 and MICS3) to the fourth round (MICS4). In order to allow for comparability with later rounds, data from MICS2 and MICS3 on birth registration were recalculated according to the MICS4 indicator definition. Therefore, the recalculated data presented here may differ from estimates included in MICS2 and MICS3 national reports. Child labour: Data from the fourth round of MICS (MICS4, 2009 2012) included in the table have been recalculated according to the indicator definition used in MICS3 surveys, to ensure cross-country comparability. In this definition, the activities of fetching water or collecting firewood are classified as household chores rather than

as an economic activity. Under this approach, a child aged 514 would have to be engaged in fetching water or collecting firewood for at least 28 hours per week to be considered as a child labourer. Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C): Data on the prevalence of FGM/C among girls aged 014 were recalculated for technical reasons and may differ from that presented in original DHS and MICS country reports. For further details, refer to Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: A statistical overview and exploration of the dynamics of change, UNICEF, New York, 2013. Violent discipline: Estimates used in UNICEF publications and in MICS country reports prior to 2010 were calculated using household weights that did not take into account the last-stage selection of children for the administration of the child discipline module in MICS surveys. (A random selection of one child aged 214 is undertaken for the administration of the child discipline module.) In January 2010, it was decided that more accurate estimates are produced by using a household weight that takes the last-stage selection into account. MICS3 data were recalculated using this approach. All UNICEF publications produced after 2010, including The State of the Worlds Children 2014 In Numbers, use the revised estimates. TABLE 10. THE RATE OF PROGRESS The under-five mortality rate (U5MR) is used as the principal indicator of progress in child well-being. In 1970, about 17.1 million children under 5 years old were dying every year. In 2012, by comparison, the estimated number of children who died before their fifth birthday stood at 6.6 million highlighting a significant long-term decline in the global number of under-five deaths. U5MR has several advantages as a gauge of child well-being: First, U5MR measures an end result of the development process rather than an input such as school enrolment level, per capita calorie availability or number of doctors per thousand population all of which are means to an end. Second, U5MR is known to be the result of a wide variety of inputs: for example, antibiotics to treat pneumonia; insecticide-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria; the nutritional well-being and health

knowledge of mothers; the level of immunization and oral rehydration therapy use; the availability of maternal and child health services, including antenatal care; income and food availability in the family; the availability of safe drinking water and basic sanitation; and the overall safety of the childs environment. Third, U5MR is less susceptible to the fallacy of the average than, for example, per capita gross national income (GNI). This is because the natural scale does not allow the children of the rich to be one thousand times more likely to survive, even if the humanmade scale does permit them to have one thousand times as much income. In other words, it is much more difficult for a wealthy minority to affect a nations U5MR, and this indicator therefore presents a more accurate, if far from perfect, picture of the health status of the majority of children and of society as a whole. The speed of progress in reducing U5MR can be assessed by calculating its annual rate of reduction (ARR). Unlike the comparison of absolute changes, ARR measures relative changes that reflect differences compared with the starting value. As lower levels of under-five mortality are reached, the same absolute reduction represents a greater percentage reduction. ARR therefore shows a higher rate of progress for a 10-point absolute

reduction, for example, if that reduction happens at a lower level of under-five mortality versus a higher level over the same time period. A 10-point decrease in U5MR from 100 in 1990 to 90 in 2012 represents a reduction of 10 per cent, corresponding to an ARR of about 0.5 per cent, whereas the same 10-point decrease from 20 to 10 over the same period represents a reduction of 50 per cent, or an ARR of 3.2 per cent. (A negative value for the percentage reduction indicates an increase in U5MR during the period specified.) When used in conjunction with gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates, U5MR and its rate of reduction can therefore give a picture of the progress being made by any country, area or region, over any period of time, towards the satisfaction of some of the most essential human needs. As Table 10 shows, there is no fixed relationship between the ARR of U5MR and the annual rate of growth in per capita GDP. Comparing these two indicators helps shed light on the relationship between economic advances and human development. Finally, the table gives the total fertility rate for each country and area and the corresponding ARR. It is clear that many of the nations that have achieved significant reductions in their U5MR have also achieved significant reductions in fertility.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Under-5 mortality rate Probability of dying between birth and exactly 5 years of age, expressed per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality rate Probability of dying between birth and exactly 1 year of age, expressed per 1,000 live births. Neonatal mortality rate Probability of dying during the first 28 completed days of life, expressed per 1,000 live births. GNI per capita Gross national income (GNI) is the sum of value added by all resident producers, plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output, plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. Gross national income per capita is GNI divided by midyear population. Gross national income per capita in US dollars is converted using the World Bank Atlas method. Life expectancy at birth Number of years newborn children would live if subject to the mortality risks prevailing for the cross section of population at the time of their birth. Total adult literacy rate Percentage of population aged 15 years and over who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement on his/her everyday life. Primary school net enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in primary or secondary school who are of official primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Because of the inclusion of primary-school-aged children enrolled in secondary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a primary adjusted net enrolment ratio. MAIN DATA SOURCES

MAIN DATA SOURCES Low birthweight Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), other national household surveys, data from routine reporting systems, UNICEF and WHO. Breastfeeding DHS, MICS, other national household surveys and UNICEF. Underweight, stunting, wasting and overweight DHS, MICS, other national household surveys, WHO and UNICEF. Vitamin A supplementation UNICEF. Iodized salt consumption DHS, MICS, other national household surveys and UNICEF.
NOTES

Low birthweight Percentage of infants weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth. Early initiation of breastfeeding Percentage of infants who are put to the breast within one hour of birth. Exclusive breastfeeding <6 months Percentage of children aged 05 months who are fed exclusively with breast milk in the 24 hours prior to the survey. Introduction of solid, semi-solid or soft foods (68 months) Percentage of children aged 68 months who received solid, semi-solid or soft foods in the 24 hours prior to the survey. Breastfeeding at age 2 Percentage of children aged 2023 months who received breast milk in the 24 hours prior to the survey. Underweight Moderate and severe: Percentage of children aged 059 months who are below minus two standard deviations from median weight-for-age of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards; Severe: Percentage of children aged 059 months who are below minus three standard deviations from median weight-for-age of the WHO Child Growth Standards. Stunting Moderate and severe: Percentage of children aged 059 months who are below minus two standard deviations from median height-for-age of the WHO Child Growth Standards. Wasting Moderate and severe: Percentage of children aged 059 months who are below minus two standard deviations from median weight-for-height of the WHO Child Growth Standards. Overweight Moderate and severe: Percentage of children aged 059 months who are above two standard deviations from median weight-for-height of the WHO Child Growth Standards. Vitamin A supplementation, full coverage The estimated percentage of children aged 659 months reached with 2 doses of vitamin A supplements. Iodized salt consumption Percentage of households consuming adequately iodized salt (15 parts per million or more).

Data not available. w Identifies countries with national vitamin A supplementation programmes targeted towards a reduced age range. Coverage figure is reported as targeted. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. Full coverage with vitamin A supplements is reported as the lower percentage of 2 annual coverage points (i.e., lower point between round 1 (JanuaryJune) and round 2 (JulyDecember) of 2012). * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China. Regional averages for underweight (moderate and severe), stunting (moderate and severe), wasting (moderate and severe) and overweight (moderate and severe) are estimated using statistical modeling of data from the UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Joint Global Nutrition Database, 2012 revision (completed July 2013). The severe underweight indicator was not included in this exercise; regional averages for this indicator are based on a population-weighted average calculated by UNICEF.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Population using improved drinking water sources Percentage of the population using any of the following as their main drinking water source: drinking water supply piped into dwelling, plot, yard or neighbors yard; public tap or standpipe; tube well or borehole; protected dug well; protected spring; rainwater; bottled water plus one of the previous sources as their secondary source. Population using improved sanitation facilities Percentage of the population using any of the following sanitation facilities, not shared with other households: flush or pour-flush latrine connected to a piped sewerage system, septic tank or pit latrine; ventilated improved pit latrine; pit latrine with a slab; covered pit; composting toilet. Routine EPI vaccines financed by government Percentage of vaccines that are routinely administered in a country to protect children and are financed by the national government (including loans). EPI Expanded programme on immunization: The immunizations in this programme include those against tuberculosis (TB); diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus (DPT); polio; and measles, as well as vaccination of pregnant women to protect babies against neonatal tetanus. Other vaccines, e.g., against hepatitis B (HepB), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) or yellow fever, may be included in the programme in some countries. BCG Percentage of live births who received bacille Calmette-Gurin (vaccine against tuberculosis). DPT1 Percentage of surviving infants who received their first dose of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine. DPT3 Percentage of surviving infants who received three doses of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine. Polio3 Percentage of surviving infants who received three doses of the polio vaccine. MCV Percentage of surviving infants who received the first dose of the measles-containing vaccine. HepB3 Percentage of surviving infants who received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Hib3 Percentage of surviving infants who received three doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine. Newborns protected against tetanus Percentage of newborns protected at birth against tetanus. Care-seeking for children with symptoms of pneumonia Percentage of children under age 5 with symptoms of pneumonia (cough and fast or difficult breathing due to a problem in the chest) in the two weeks preceding the survey for whom advice or treatment was sought from a health facility or provider. Antibiotic treatment for children with symptoms of pneumonia Percentage of children under age 5 with symptoms of pneumonia (cough and fast or difficult breathing due to a problem in the chest) in the two weeks preceding the survey who received antibiotics. NB: This indicator refers to antibiotic treatment among children whose caretakers report symptoms that are consistent with pneumonia. These children have not been medically diagnosed and thus this indicator should be interpreted with caution. Diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) Percentage of children under age 5 who had diarrhoea in the two weeks preceding the survey and who received oral rehydration salts (ORS packets or pre-packaged ORS fluids). Antimalarial treatment for children with fever Percentage of children under age 5 who were ill with fever in the two weeks preceding the survey and received any antimalarial medicine. NB: This indicator refers to antimalarial treatment among all febrile children, rather than among confirmed malaria cases, and thus should be interpreted with caution. For more information, please refer to <www.childinfo.org/ malaria_maltreatment.php>. Children sleeping under ITNs Percentage of children under age 5 who slept under an insecticide-treated mosquito net the night prior to the survey. Households with at least one ITN Percentage of households with at least one insecticide-treated mosquito net. MAIN DATA SOURCES Use of improved drinking water sources and improved sanitation facilities UNICEF and World Health Organization (WHO), Joint Monitoring Programme. Routine EPI vaccines financed by government As reported by governments on UNICEF and WHO Joint Reporting Form. Immunization UNICEF and WHO. Care-seeking and treatment for symptoms of pneumonia Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and other national household surveys. Diarrhoea treatment DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Malaria prevention and treatment DHS, MICS, Malaria Indicator Surveys (MIS) and other national household surveys. NOTES Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India and 2007 data from Brazil. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. Coverage for DPT1 should be at least as high as DPT3. Discrepancies where DPT1 coverage is less than DPT3 reflect deficiencies in the data collection and reporting process. UNICEF and WHO are working with national and territorial systems to eliminate these discrepancies. WHO and UNICEF have employed a model to calculate the percentage of births that can be considered as protected against tetanus because pregnant women were given two doses or more of tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccine. The model aims to improve the accuracy of this indicator by capturing or including other potential scenarios where women might be protected (e.g., women who receive doses of TT in supplemental immunization activities). A fuller explanation of the methodology can be found at <www.childinfo.org>. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS MAIN DATA SOURCES

Youth literacy rate Percentage of population aged 1524 years, who can both read and write with understanding a short simple statement on his/her everyday life. Mobile phones The number of active subscriptions to a public mobile telephone service, including the number of prepaid SIM cards active during the past three months. Internet users The estimated number of Internet users including those using the Internet from any device (including mobile phones) during the past 12 months. Pre-primary school gross enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in pre-primary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official pre-primary school age. Primary school gross enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in primary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Primary school net enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in primary or secondary school who are of official primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Because of the inclusion of primary-school-aged children enrolled in secondary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a primary adjusted net enrolment ratio. Primary school net attendance ratio Number of children attending primary or secondary school who are of official primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Because of the inclusion of primary-school-aged children attending secondary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a primary adjusted net attendance ratio. Survival rate to last primary grade Percentage of children entering the first grade of primary school who eventually reach the last grade of primary school. Secondary school net enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in secondary school who are of official secondary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official secondary school age. Secondary net enrolment ratio does not include secondary-school-aged children enrolled in tertiary education owing to challenges in age reporting and recording at that level. Secondary school net attendance ratio Number of children attending secondary or tertiary school who are of official secondary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official secondary school age. Because of the inclusion of secondary-school-aged children attending tertiary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a secondary adjusted net attendance ratio. All data refer to official International Standard Classifications of Education (ISCED) for the primary and secondary education levels and thus may not directly correspond to a country-specific school system.

Youth literacy UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). Mobile phone and Internet use International Telecommunications Union, Geneva. Pre-primary, primary and secondary enrolment UIS. Estimates based on administrative data from international Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) with UN population estimates. Primary and secondary school attendance Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and other national household surveys. Survival rate to last primary grade Administrative data: UIS; survey data: DHS, MICS and other national household surveys.
NOTES Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India and 2007 data from Brazil, Indonesia, Tajikistan and Ukraine. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. z Data provided by Chinese Ministry of Education. The UIS dataset does not currently include net enrolment rates or primary school survival for China. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

# For a complete list of countries and areas in the regions, subregions and country categories, see page 26 DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS GNI per capita Gross national income (GNI) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI per capita is gross national income divided by midyear population. GNI per capita in US dollars is converted using the World Bank Atlas method. GNI per capita (PPP US$) GNI per capita converted to international dollars taking into account differences in price levels (purchasing power) between countries. Based on data from the International Comparison Programme. GDP per capita Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. GDP per capita is gross domestic product divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price GDP data in local currency. Population below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day Percentage of the population living on less than US$1.25 per day at 2005 prices, adjusted for purchasing power parity. The new poverty threshold reflects revisions to purchasing power parity exchange rates based on the results of the 2005 International Comparison Programme. The revisions reveal that the cost of living is higher across the developing world than previously estimated. As a result of these revisions, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in previous editions. More detailed information on the definition, methodology and sources of the data presented is available at <www.worldbank.org>. ODA Net official development assistance. Debt service Sum of interest payments and repayments of principal on external public and publicly guaranteed long-term debts. Share of household income Percentage of income received by the 20 per cent of households with the highest income and by the 40 per cent of households with the lowest income. MAIN DATA SOURCES GNI per capita The World Bank. GDP per capita The World Bank. Rate of inflation The World Bank. Population below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day The World Bank. Public spending on health, education and military The World Bank. ODA Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Debt service The World Bank. Share of household income The World Bank. NOTES a low-income country (GNI per capita is $1,035 or less). b lower-middle-income country (GNI per capita is $1,036 to $4,085). c upper-middle-income country (GNI per capita is $4,086 to $12,615). d high-income country (GNI per capita is $12,616 or more). Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages. e Estimate is based on regression; other PPP figures are extrapolated from the 2005 International Comparison Programme benchmark estimates. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

# For a complete list of countries and areas in the regions, subregions and country categories, see page 26. DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Life expectancy Number of years newborn children would live if subject to the mortality risks prevailing for the cross section of population at the time of their birth. Adult literacy rate Percentage of population aged 15 years and over who can both read and write with understanding a short, simple statement on his/her everyday life. Primary gross enrolment ratio (GER) Total enrolment in primary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official primary-school-aged population. Secondary gross enrolment ratio (GER) Total enrolment in secondary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official secondary-school-aged population. Survival rate to the last grade of primary Percentage of children entering the first grade of primary school who eventually reach the last grade (administrative data). Contraceptive prevalence Percentage of women (aged 1549) in union currently using any contraceptive method. Antenatal care Percentage of women (aged 1549) attended at least once during pregnancy by skilled health personnel (doctor, nurse or midwife) and the percentage attended by any provider at least four times. Skilled attendant at birth Percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel (doctor, nurse or midwife). Institutional delivery Percentage of women (aged 1549) who gave birth in a health facility. C-section Percentage of births delivered by Caesarean section. (C-section rates between 5 per cent and 15 per cent expected with adequate levels of emergency obstetric care.) Maternal mortality ratio Number of deaths of women from pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births during the same time period. The reported column shows country-reported figures that are not adjusted for under-reporting and misclassification. For the adjusted column, see note below (). Maternal mortality ratio values have been rounded according to the following scheme: <100, no rounding; 100999, rounded to nearest 10; and >1,000, rounded to nearest 100. Lifetime risk of maternal death Lifetime risk of maternal death takes into account both the probability of becoming pregnant and the probability of dying as a result of that pregnancy, accumulated across a womans reproductive years. MAIN DATA SOURCES Life expectancy United Nations Population Division. Adult literacy rate UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). Primary and secondary school enrolment UIS. Survival rate to the last grade of primary UIS. Contraceptive prevalence Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and other nationally representative sources; United Nations Population Division. Antenatal care MICS, DHS and other nationally representative sources. Skilled attendant at birth MICS, DHS and other nationally representative sources. Institutional delivery MICS, DHS and other nationally representative sources. C-section MICS, DHS and other nationally representative sources. Maternal mortality ratio (reported) Nationally representative sources, including household surveys and vital registration. Maternal mortality ratio (adjusted) United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and the World Bank). Lifetime risk of maternal death United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and the World Bank). NOTES Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India and 2006 data from Brazil. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China. The maternal mortality data in the column headed reported refer to data reported by national authorities. The data in the column headed adjusted refer to the 2010 United Nations inter-agency maternal mortality estimates that were released in May 2012. Periodically, the United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and the World Bank) produces internationally comparable sets of maternal mortality data that account for the well-documented problems of under-reporting and misclassification of maternal deaths, including also estimates for countries with no data. Please note that owing to an evolving methodology, these values are not comparable with previously reported maternal mortality ratio adjusted values. Comparable time series on maternal mortality ratios for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 are available at <www.childinfo.org>.

MAIN DATA SOURCES Child labour Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and other national surveys. Child marriage MICS, DHS and other national surveys. Birth registration MICS, DHS, other national household surveys, censuses and vital registration systems. Female genital mutilation/cutting MICS, DHS and other national surveys. Justification of wife beating MICS, DHS and other national surveys. Violent discipline MICS, DHS and other national surveys. NOTES Data not available. v Estimates of 100% were assumed given that civil registration systems in these countries are complete and all vital events (including births) are registered. Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Statistics Division, Population and Vital Statistics Report, Series A, Vol. 65, New York, 2013. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Child labour Percentage of children 514 years old involved in child labour at the time of the survey. A child is considered to be involved in child labour under the following conditions: (a) children 511 years old who, during the reference week, did at least one hour of economic activity or at least 28 hours of household chores, or (b) children 1214 years old who, during the reference week, did at least 14 hours of economic activity or at least 28 hours of household chores. Child marriage Percentage of women 2024 years old who were first married or in union before they were 15 years old and percentage of women 2024 years old who were first married or in union before they were 18 years old. Birth registration Percentage of children less than 5 years old who were registered at the time of the survey. The numerator of this indicator includes children whose birth certificate was seen by the interviewer or whose mother or caretaker says the birth has been registered. Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) (a) Women: percentage of women 1549 years old who have undergone FGM/C; (b) girls: percentage of girls 014 years old who have undergone FGM/C (as reported by their mothers); (c) support for the practice: percentage of women 1549 years old who have heard about FGM/C and think the practice should continue. Justification of wife beating Percentage of women and men 1549 years old who consider a husband to be justified in hitting or beating his wife for at least one of the specified reasons, i.e., if his wife burns the food, argues with him, goes out without telling him, neglects the children or refuses sexual relations. Violent discipline Percentage of children 214 years old who experience any violent discipline (psychological aggression and/or physical punishment).

A more detailed explanation of the methodology and the changes in calculating these estimates can be found in the General Note on the Data, page 22. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Under-5 mortality rate Probability of dying between birth and exactly 5 years of age, expressed per 1,000 live births. Reduction since 1990 Percentage reduction in the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) from 1990 to 2012. The United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000 established a goal of a two-thirds (67 per cent) reduction in U5MR from 1990 to 2015. This indicator provides a current assessment of progress towards this goal. GDP per capita Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. GDP per capita is gross domestic product divided by midyear population. Growth is calculated from constant price GDP data in local currency. Total fertility rate Number of children who would be born per woman if she lived to the end of her childbearing years and bore children at each age in accordance with prevailing age-specific fertility rates. MAIN DATA SOURCES Under-5 mortality rate United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, World Health Organization, United Nations Population Division and the World Bank). GDP per capita The World Bank. Total fertility rate United Nations Population Division. NOTES Data not available. A negative value indicates an increase in the under-five mortality rate. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Adolescents currently married/in union Percentage of boys and girls aged 1519 who are currently married or in union. This indicator is meant to provide a snapshot of the current marital status of boys and girls in this age group. However, it is worth noting that those not married at the time of the survey are still exposed to the risk of marrying before they exit adolescence. Births by age 18 Percentage of women aged 2024 who gave birth before age 18. This standardized indicator from population-based surveys captures levels of fertility among adolescents up to the age of 18. Note that the data are based on the answers of women aged 2024, whose risk of giving birth before the age of 18 is behind them. Adolescent birth rate Number of births per 1,000 adolescent girls aged 1519. Justification of wife beating among adolescents The percentage of boys and girls aged 1519 who consider a husband to be justified in hitting or beating his wife for at least one of the specified reasons: if his wife burns the food, argues with him, goes out without telling him, neglects the children or refuses sexual relations. Use of mass media among adolescents The percentage of boys and girls aged 1519 who make use of at least one of the following types of information media at least once a week: newspaper, magazine, television or radio. Lower secondary school gross enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in lower secondary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official lower secondary school age. Upper secondary school gross enrolment ratio Number of children enrolled in upper secondary school, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official upper secondary school age. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV among adolescents Percentage of young men and women aged 1519 who correctly identify the two major ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV (using condoms and limiting sex to one faithful, uninfected partner), who reject the two most common local misconceptions about HIV transmission and who know that a healthy-looking person can be HIV-positive.

# For a complete list of countries and areas in the regions, subregions and country categories, see page 26. DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Birth registration Percentage of children under age 5 who were registered at the moment of the survey. This includes children whose birth certificate was seen by the interviewer or whose mother or caretaker says the birth has been registered. Skilled attendant at birth Percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel (doctor, nurse or midwife). Underweight prevalence in children under 5 Percentage of children under age 5 who are below minus two standard deviations from median weight-for-age of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards. Diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) Percentage of children under age 5 who had diarrhoea in the two weeks preceding the survey and who received oral rehydration salts (ORS packets or pre-packaged ORS fluids). Primary school net attendance ratio Number of children attending primary or secondary school who are of official primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Because of the inclusion of primaryschool-aged children attending secondary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a primary adjusted net attendance ratio. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV Percentage of young women (aged 1524) who correctly identify the two major ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV (using condoms and limiting sex to one faithful, uninfected partner), who reject the two most common local misconceptions about HIV transmission and who know that a healthy-looking person can be HIV-positive. Use of improved sanitation facilities Percentage of the population using any of the following sanitation facilities, not shared with other households: flush or pour-flush latrine connected to a piped sewerage system, septic tank or pit latrine; ventilated improved pit latrine; pit latrine with a slab; covered pit; composting toilet. MAIN DATA SOURCES Birth registration Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), other national household surveys, censuses and vital registration systems. Skilled attendant at birth DHS, MICS and other nationally representative sources. Underweight prevalence in children under 5 DHS, MICS, other national household surveys, WHO and UNICEF. Diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Primary school net attendance ratio DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV AIDS Indicator Surveys (AIS), DHS, MICS and other national household surveys; HIV/AIDS Survey Indicators Database, <www.measuredhs.com/hivdata>. Use of improved sanitation facilities UNICEF and WHO Joint Monitoring Programme. Italicized disparity data are from different sources than the data presented for the same indicators in other tables of the report: Table 2 (Nutrition Underweight prevalence), Table 3 (Health Diarrhoea treatment), Table 4 (HIV/AIDS Comprehensive knowledge of HIV), Table 5 (Education Primary school participation) and Table 8 (Women Skilled attendant at birth). NOTES Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India and 2006 skilled attendant at birth data from Brazil. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. ++ Changes in the definition of birth registration were made from the second and third rounds of MICS (MICS2 and MICS3) to the fourth round (MICS4). In order to allow for comparability with later rounds, data from MICS2 and MICS3 on birth registration were recalculated according to the MICS4 indicator definition. Therefore, the recalculated data presented here may differ from estimates included in MICS2 and MICS3 national reports. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS Birth registration Percentage of children under age 5 who were registered at the moment of the survey. This includes children whose birth certificate was seen by the interviewer or whose mother or caretaker says the birth has been registered. Skilled attendant at birth Percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel (doctor, nurse or midwife). Underweight prevalence in children under 5 Percentage of children under age 5 who are below minus two standard deviations from median weight-for-age of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards. Diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) Percentage of children under age 5 who had diarrhoea in the two weeks preceding the survey and who received oral rehydration salts (ORS packets or pre-packaged ORS fluids). Primary school net attendance ratio Number of children attending primary or secondary school who are of official primary school age, expressed as a percentage of the total number of children of official primary school age. Because of the inclusion of primary-school-aged children attending secondary school, this indicator can also be referred to as a primary adjusted net attendance ratio. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV Percentage of young men and women (aged 1524) who correctly identify the two major ways of preventing the sexual transmission of HIV (using condoms and limiting sex to one faithful, uninfected partner), who reject the two most common local misconceptions about HIV transmission and who know that a healthy-looking person can be HIV-positive. MAIN DATA SOURCES Birth registration Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), other national household surveys, censuses and vital registration systems. Skilled attendant at birth DHS, MICS and other nationally representative sources. Underweight prevalence in children under 5 DHS, MICS, other national household surveys, WHO and UNICEF. Diarrhoea treatment with oral rehydration salts (ORS) DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Primary school net attendance ratio DHS, MICS and other national household surveys. Comprehensive knowledge of HIV AIDS Indicator Surveys (AIS), DHS, MICS and other national household surveys; HIV/AIDS Survey Indicators Database, <www.measuredhs.com/hivdata>. Italicized disparity data are from different sources than the data presented for the same indicators in other tables of the report: Table 2 (Nutrition Underweight prevalence), Table 3 (Health Diarrhoea treatment), Table 4 (HIV/AIDS Comprehensive knowledge of HIV), Table 5 (Education Primary school participation) and Table 8 (Women Skilled attendant at birth). NOTES Data not available. x Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading. Such data are not included in the calculation of regional and global averages, with the exception of 20052006 data from India. Estimates from data years prior to 2000 are not displayed. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. ++ Changes in the definition of birth registration were made from the second and third rounds of MICS (MICS2 and MICS3) to the fourth round (MICS4). In order to allow for comparability with later rounds, data from MICS2 and MICS3 on birth registration were recalculated according to the MICS4 indicator definition. Therefore, the recalculated data presented here may differ from estimates included in MICS2 and MICS3 national reports. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ** Excludes China.

MAIN DATA SOURCES Attendance in early childhood education Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and other national surveys. Adult support for learning DHS, MICS and other national surveys. Fathers support for learning DHS, MICS and other national surveys. Learning materials at home: childrens books DHS, MICS and other national surveys. Learning materials at home: playthings DHS, MICS and other national surveys. Children left in inadequate care DHS, MICS and other national surveys. NOTES Data not available. y Data differ from the standard definition or refer to only part of a country. If they fall within the noted reference period, such data are included in the calculation of regional and global averages. * Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading. ++ Changes in the definitions of several ECD indicators were made between the third and fourth round of MICS (MICS3 and MICS4). In order to allow for comparability with MICS4, data from MICS3 for the adult support for learning, fathers support for learning and learning materials at home (playthings) indicators were recalculated according to MICS4 indicator definitions. Therefore, the recalculated data presented here will differ from estimates reported in MICS3 national reports.
