International data
In order to assess Hungary’s role, share and position in the world and in the EU, it is essential to have comparable and reliable data on other countries. It may be difficult for users to find the appropriate data sources, routinely use international databases, reconcile data from different sources as well as identify and assess the reasons for any methodological differences. In order to make it easier, we have collected on this page our international publications and tables as well as links to major international databases, publication repertories, methodological collections.

Word Population Day – 11 July
In 1989, the United Nations declared 11 July as World Population Day to raise awareness of the scale of population growth and the implied challenges. Today, the most significant population explosion is taking place in Africa, where the population increased 6.7-fold between 1950 and 2024; currently, 18% of the world’s population lives there. The United Nations predicts that by 2100, Africa will account for 37% of the world's population, while Asia's share is expected to decline from the current 59% to 45%.
