Anuario Estad Stico De Am Rica Latina Y El Caribe 1995

The 1995 edition of the Statistical Yearbook for Latin America and the Caribbean contains a selection, updated to the end of December, of the main statistical series available on economic and social trends in the countries of the region.

The Yearbook comprises four chapters. The first covers demographics and social indicators, reflecting special efforts to mainstream the gender perspective in statistical information. The second chapter presents basic economic trade and balance-of-payments statistics as well as national accounts. Taking accounts of the growing concern of the regional and international community for sustainable development, the third chapter provides the quantitative information available in the environment. The fourth chapter deals with methodology and metadata supplementing the more specific information contained in the footnotes to each of the tables of this Yearbook.

This annual publication provides a range of economic and social data for the countries of the Latin America and Caribbean region. Part one contains derived socio-economic indicators under the headings of social development and welfare, economic growth, domestic prices, capital formation and financing, external trade in goods and services and external financing. Part two gives historical data series in absolute figures for the region and individual countries regarding population, national accounts, domestic prices, balance of payments, external financing and debt, external trade in goods and services, natural resources and production of goods, infrastructure services, employment and social conditions. This edition also includes a CD-ROM with statistical tables, in Excel, covering data series from 1980 onwards.
