European Union 1.06 male(s)/female  

DEFINITION: The number of males for each female one of five age groups - at birth, under 15 years, 15-64 years, 65
years and over, and for the total population. Sex ratio at birth has recently emerged as an indicator of certain kinds of sex
discrimination in some countries. For instance, high sex ratios at birth in some Asian countries are now attributed to sex-
selective abortion and infanticide due to a strong preference for sons. This will affect future marriage patterns and fertility
patterns. Eventually it could cause unrest among young adult males who are unable to find partners.

DEFINITION: This entry gives the gross domestic product (GDP) or value of all final goods and services produced within
a nation in a given year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods
and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most
economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across
countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the
country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the
value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small
and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World
Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack
precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER)
measure. The difference between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the weathly industrialized
countries are generally much smaller. Per capita figures expressed per 1 population
