THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR PROJECT!

The spreadsheet contains explanations of what the estimates are and how to use them but please contact us if you have any questions.

Some other things to keep in mind:

  • Please send us email if you use our estimates in any published work including journal articles, reports, working papers, newspaper articles, or any other media. This will enhance our ability to obtain funding to keep producing more and better data for you to use!

  • Names, institutions, and contact information for research teams in each country can be found on the “Country Teams” and “Affiliate Teams” pages linked above.

  • Please refer colleagues who are interested in our data to this website, rather than sharing the database spreadsheet with them directly.

We wish to recognize grants from the International Development Research Centre of Canada and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation of the United States in enabling us to bring you these data. Since 2020, this work has been done in partnership with the Population Reference Bureau.
