This report presents the highlights from the results of the 2000 Revision of the official world population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat.  The 2000 Revision is the sixteenth round of global demographic estimates and projections undertaken by the Population Division since 1950.  The full results of the 2000 Revision will be presented in a series of three volumes currently under preparation. The first two will be issued as working papers by mid-2001. The first volume <\/span>1<\/u><\/span>\/ <\/span>will provide the comprehensive tables presenting the major demographic indicators for each country for 1950-2050; the second volume <\/span>2<\/u><\/span>\/ <\/span>will contain the distributions by age and sex of the population of each country for the period 1950-2050, and the third volume <\/span>3<\/u><\/span>\/ <\/span>will be devoted to an in-depth analysis of the results obtained.
\nData will also be distributed in digital form. Interested users can purchase data sets containing the major results of the 2000 Revision. A description of these data sets and an order form are posted on the Population Division’s web site (see address below).  Responsibility for the 2000 Revision rests with the Population Division.  Preparation of the 2000 Revision was facilitated by the collaboration of the regional commissions, the specialized agencies and other relevant bodies of the United Nations with the Population Division.
