How to read this profile
GDP per person is measured in constant 2021 international dollars using purchasing power parity. It measures economic output, not household income or wealth. Life expectancy is period life expectancy at birth, not healthy life expectancy. Service access percentages are national averages and do not establish service reliability or equal access.
Missing values remain unavailable. Comparable years may have different underlying survey dates; source estimates can be revised.
