World Population Prospects: Data Booklet - 2015 Revision
Abstract
The 2015 Revision will build on the previous revision by incorporating the findings of new population censuses and specialized demographic surveys, which have been published since the previous revision. This comprehensive review of worldwide demographic trends and future prospects is essential for assessing the degree of progress made in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to guide policies aimed at achieving the new post-2015 development agenda, which Member States will adopt this fall. The full results of the 2015 revision will be made available in the form of a two volume report.

The study's projections are for more than 100 years, a period over which substantial demographic and behavioural changes and technological development are anticipated that can have an impact on cervical cancer incidence.
“First, our projections are for more than 100 years, a period over which substantial demographic and behavioural changes and technological development are anticipated that can have an impact on cervical cancer incidence.43, 49”
With low UN population predictions, 62 million cervical cancer cases would be averted with the triple-intervention strategy; with high UN population predictions, 88 million cases would be averted; versus 74 million cases with base-case projections.
“When producing projections with low population predictions from the UN,43 we estimated that 62 million cervical cancer cases would be averted with the triple-intervention global elimination strategy, and that 88 million cases would be averted with the UN's high population predictions, versus 74 million cases with base-case projections (appendix p 12).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
