The Demographic Yearbook is a collection of international demographic 
statistics. It presents tables on basic demographic statistics, 
distribution and trends in population, natality, fetal mortality, infant

rural/urban residence. Each annual volume covers basic demographic 
statistics plus one or a few special topics. Special topics covered in 
recent years include aging and the situation of elderly persons, disability 
statistics, and population migration.
