Technical notes: Data sources and definitions The statistical tables in The <strong>State</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Population</strong> <strong>2012</strong> include indicators that track progress toward the goals <strong>of</strong> the Programme <strong>of</strong> Action <strong>of</strong> the International Conference on <strong>Population</strong> and Development (ICPD) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the areas <strong>of</strong> maternal health, access to education, reproductive and sexual health. In addition, these tables include a variety <strong>of</strong> demographic indicators. Different national authorities and international organizations may employ different methodologies in gathering, extrapolating or analyzing data. To facilitate the international comparability <strong>of</strong> data, <strong>UNFPA</strong> relies on the standard methodologies employed by the main sources <strong>of</strong> data, especially the <strong>Population</strong> Division <strong>of</strong> the United Nations Department <strong>of</strong> Economic and Social Affairs. In some instances, therefore, the data in these tables differ from those generated by national authorities. Regional averages are based on data about countries and territories where <strong>UNFPA</strong> works, rather than on strict geographical definitions employed by the <strong>Population</strong> Division <strong>of</strong> the United Nations Department <strong>of</strong> Economic and Social Affairs. For a list <strong>of</strong> countries included in each regional category in this report, see the “Notes for indicators.” Monitoring ICPD Goals Maternal and Newborn Health Maternal mortality ratio, per 100,000 live births. Source: <strong>World</strong> Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, <strong>UNFPA</strong> and <strong>World</strong> Bank. 2010. Trends in maternal mortality: 1990 to 2010: WHO. This indicator presents the number <strong>of</strong> deaths to women per 100,000 live births which result from conditions related to pregnancy, delivery, the postpartum period, and related complications. Estimates between 100-999 are rounded to the nearest 10, and above 1,000 to the nearest 100. Several <strong>of</strong> the estimates differ from <strong>of</strong>ficial government figures. The estimates are based on reported figures wherever possible, using approaches that improve the comparability <strong>of</strong> information from different sources. See the source for details on the origin <strong>of</strong> particular national estimates. Estimates and methodologies are reviewed regularly by WHO, UNICEF, <strong>UNFPA</strong>, academic institutions and other agencies and are revised where necessary, as part <strong>of</strong> the ongoing process <strong>of</strong> improving maternal mortality data. Because <strong>of</strong> changes in methods, prior estimates for 1995 and 2000 may not be strictly comparable with these estimates. Maternal mortality estimates reported here are based on the global database on maternal mortality, which is updated periodically. Births attended by skilled health personnel, per cent, 2000/2010 Source: WHO global database on maternal health indicators, <strong>2012</strong> update. Geneva, <strong>World</strong> Health Organization (http://www.who.int/gho). Percentage <strong>of</strong> births attended by skilled health personnel (doctors, nurses or midwives) is the percentage <strong>of</strong> deliveries attended by health personnel trained in providing life-saving obstetric care, including giving the necessary supervision, care and advice to women during pregnancy, labour and the post-partum period; conducting deliveries on their own; and caring for newborns. Traditional birth attendants, even if they receive a short training course, are not included.
