ONU statistiques
Social indicators covering a wide range of subject-matter fields are compiled by the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, from many national and international sources. The indicators presented here consist mainly of the minimum list which has been proposed for follow-up and monitoring implementation of major United Nations conferences on children, population and development, social development and women. This minimum list is contained in the Report of the Expert Group on the Statistical Implications of Recent Major United Nations Conferences (E/CN.3/AC.1/1996/R.4). Technical background on the development of social indicators is contained in two United Nations publications, Handbook on Social Indicators (United Nations publication, Series F, No. 49, 1989) and Towards a System of Social and Demographic Statistics (United Nations publication, Series F, No. 18, 1975) Indicators are provided on the following areas:

Academic Ranking of World Universities | ARWU | First World University Ranking | Shanghai Ranking La population mondiale devrait dépasser les 9 milliards de personnes en 2050 11 mars 2009 – La population mondiale devrait dépasser les 9 milliards d'individus en 2050, contre 6,8 milliards cette année et 7 milliards début 2012, selon des calculs de l'ONU publiées mercredi dans les Révisions 2008. Une forte majorité des nouveaux habitants de la planète, environ 2,3 milliards de personnes, vivront dans les pays en développement, dont la population passera de 5,6 milliards d'individus en 2009 à 7,9 milliards en 2050 et sera répartie entre les groupes d'âges de 15 à 59 ans (1,2 milliard supplémentaire) et les 60 ans et plus (1,1 milliard). Les pays les plus développés ne devraient voir leur population augmenter que faiblement, passant de 1,23 à 1,28 milliard pendant cette même période. La population des pays développés aurait même tendance à réduire, passant à 1,15 milliard d'individus, sans le solde migratoire positif provenant des pays en développement, qui devrait s'établir aux alentours de 2,4 millions de personnes chaque année entre 2009 et 2050.

Global Population Density at a Glance (Infographic) Fathom Information Design/Promo image This population density map is making the rounds on the blogs today, to near-universal acclaim. And for good reason; it might be the most intuitive look at global pop. density ever cobbled together. The brainchild of Fathom Information Design, 'Dencity' uses small pixels to connote density, big ones to convey wide-open, unpopulated spaces. Fast Company explains why the design works: In the visual syntax of infographics and maps, bigger equals... well, bigger. Fathom Information Design/Promo image I don't really get what's so unorthodox about this; to me, it seems downright intuitive. China. Counterintuitive or not, it is indeed a brilliantly effective way to convey where population centers are grouped, and where there's still free range. Click here to view a larger image.

L’avenir démographique de l’Europe: transformer un défi en opportunité Communication de la Commission du 12 octobre 2006 intitulée «L’avenir démographique de l’Europe, transformer un défi en opportunité» [COM(2006) 571 final - Non publiée au Journal officiel]. L'Union européenne (UE) doit aujourd’hui faire face au déclin démographique, au faible accroissement naturel et au vieillissement d’une partie de la population. Pour relever ce défi, la Commission formule un certain nombre de recommandations s’appuyant notamment sur la stratégie de Lisbonne renouvelée afin de tirer le meilleur parti des opportunités d’une vie plus longue, mais également d’amorcer un renouveau démographique. Le vieillissement démographique en Europe: tendances et perspectives Le vieillissement de la population (soit la part des personnes âgées au sein de la population globale) résulte des progrès considérables réalisés dans les domaines économique, social et médical en termes de services offerts aux Européens.
