The total population data and projections are from the 1990 UN assessment (UN, 1991). The projections are those of the medium variant.
The data, and in particular the projections for the population economically active in agriculture should be understood as indicative of broad orders of magnitude. They are, as far as possible, standardized for comparability among countries and regions. They may differ from those obtained from the routine labour force survey statistics. For discussion see FAO (1986). The basis of these estimates is the historical data up to the early 1980s from ILO's work providing internationally comparable statistics. ILO is in the process of updating these data.
