The package contains the following datasets:

• tfr, tfr_supplemental, tfrprojMed, tfrproj80u, tfrproj80l, tfrproj95u, tfrproj95l, tfrprojHigh, tfrprojLow: estimates and projections of total fertility rate, including the projected 80% and 95% probability bounds, as well as low and high half child variants.

• e0F, e0M, e0X_supplemental, e0Xproj, e0Xproj80u, e0Xproj80l, e0Xproj95u, e0Xproj95l: sex-specific estimates and projections of life expectancy with X=“F” and “M”, including the projected 80% and 95% probability bounds.

• pop, popproj, popproj80u, popproj80l, popproj95u, popproj95l, popprojHigh, popprojLow: historical estimates of total population counts, as well as the median, probability bounds and the high and low variants of population projections.

• popF, popM, popXprojMed, popXprojHigh, popXprojLow: age- and sex-specific population estimates and projections with X=“F” and “M”, including the high and low variants.

• mxF, mxM: age- and sex-specific mortality rates

• migration: total net migration

• sexRatio: sex ratio at birth as a ratio of female to male

• percentASFR: distribution of age-specific fertility rates

• UNlocations: location dataset
