Social indicators for less populous countries [statistics and league tables]

The indicators used to construct the league tables in The Progress of Nations 1998 include: per cent of registered births; per cent of children not immunized against measles; and number of live births per 1,000 women age 15-19. Using the same indicators, the following table shows the progress of those countries with populations of less than 1 million. The regional standing of these less populous countries can be assessed by comparing the figures given here with the relevant league tables.
