The 2004 Revision is the nineteenth round of official United Nations
population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division
of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations
Secretariat. These are used throughout the United Nations system as the
basis for activities requiring population information. The 2004 Revision
is the first to incorporate the full results of the 2000 round of
national population censuses.

 

It also takes into account the results of recent specialized surveys
carried out in developing countries to provide both demographic
information and data to assess the progress made in achieving the
internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). The comprehensive review of past worldwide
demographic trends and future prospects presented in the 2004 Revision
provides the population basis for the assessment of those goals.
