      abstract = {Population statistics are an essential tool for  development planning. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for  Sustainable  Development has recognized the need for  high-quality, timely and reliable data, including  demographic statistics, to support the achievement of the  Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all countries in  the world. In particular, SDG 17: Strengthen the means of  implementation and revitalize the global partnership for  sustainable development, calls for the enhancement of the  evidence base to measure progress towards the achievement  of its goals and targets. This data booklet presents key  population indicators at the global and regional levels,  and highlights current and future patterns and trends of  fertility, mortality and international migration. Data  presented in this booklet are based on the 2017 Revision of  the World Population Prospects, the latest global  demographic estimates and projections prepared by the  Population Division of the Department of Economic and  Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. The 2017  Revision provides a comprehensive set of demographic data  and indicators to assess population trends at the global,  regional and national levels and to calculate many other  key indicators commonly used by the United Nations system.  },
