This parameter provides an indication of age distribution.</p> <p><strong>Fertility Rate</strong>: (Total Fertility Rate, or TFR), it is expressed as children per woman. It is calculated as the average number of children an average woman will have during her reproductive period (15 to 49 years old) based on the current <a href="http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/WFD2012/Metadata/Metadata_ASFR.html">fertility rates</a> of every age group in the country, and assuming she is not subject to mortality.</p> <p><strong>Density (P/Km²)</strong>: (Population Density) Population per square Kilometer (Km²).</p> <p><strong>Urban Pop % </strong>: Urban population as a percentage of total population.</p> <p><strong>Urban Population</strong>: Population living in areas classified as urban according to the criteria used by each country.</p> <p><strong>Country's Share of World Pop</strong>: Total population in the country as a percentage of total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated.</p> <p><strong>World Population</strong>: Total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated.</p> <p><strong>Global Rank</strong>: Position held by Vanuatu in the list of all countries worldwide ranked by population (from the highest population to the lowest population) as of July 1 of the year indicated. </p></div></div> </div></div></div><div style="margin-top:80px"></div></div>  <div style="margin-bottom:40px"><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __336x280" id="worldometers_bottom"> <script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript"> freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: "worldometers_bottom", slotId: "worldometers_bottom" }); </script></div></div><footer><div class="footerlinks"><div style="margin-bottom:20px"><a href="/"><img src="/img/worldometers-logo-footer.png" border="0" class="img-footer"></a></div><a href="/about/">about</a> | <a href="/faq/">faq</a> | <a href="/languages/">languages</a> | <a href="/contact/">contact</a></div> <div class="copy">© Copyright Worldometers.info - All rights reserved - <a href="/disclaimer/">Disclaimer & Privacy Policy</a></div></footer> </body></html>
