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.

World Population Day, 2020
At present, 7.8 billion people live on the Earth. More developed countries fight with low fertility, accelerating ageing of society, and problems of sustainability of provision systems, while shortage of food, poverty, lack of education, unemployment and the provision of basic health and social services are serious challenges in less developed regions. The UN declared 11 July World Population Day in 1989, the aim of which was to draw attention to the extent of global population growth and the implied problems.
