Every country has a demographic fingerprint — a distinct combination of how its population is distributed by age, how mortality varies across the lifespan, and where childbearing is concentrated. This visualization brings those three dimensions together in a single interactive profile, letting you explore and compare countries across the world.
Metrics
- Population — The upper left arm shows the population pyramid: the share of males and females in each five-year age group relative to the total population.
- Mortality — The upper right arm shows the mortality profile: the percentage of male and female deaths occurring in each five-year age group relative to the total number of deaths.
- Fertility — The lower arm shows the fertility distribution based on the Proportional Age-Specific Fertility Rate (PASFR), representing the percentage of total fertility contributed by each five-year age group of women aged 15–49 years.
A timeline slider lets you step through snapshots at ten-year intervals from 1953 to 2023.
