Population Edits and Notes: "Population data were extrapolated to the years 1990, 1995, and 2000 using a population growth rates calculated for 1983 -1994 and extrapolated to the years 2005, 2010, and 2015 using a population growth rates calculated for 1994-2001. According to the DGECN website the most recent census was conducted in 2001, but in the UN website http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/sources/census/censusdates.htm, the census happened in 2002. Because of the high growth rate between 1994 and 2001, i.e., population increased from 0.4M in 1994 to 1.01M in 2001, the result of the most recent census (2001/2002) of Equatorial Gunea is purported to be inflated, -- ""Although the 2002 census estimated the population at 1,015,000, credible estimates put the number at closer to 500,000. The opposition claimed that the Government inflated the census in anticipation of the December presidential election."" ? this statement from US Department of State: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2002/18181.htm. It is our practice to use the country?s National Statistics Office?s official figures to produce our NSO-Based Estimates. Users concerned about the high growth rate are advidsed to use our UN Adjusted Population Estimates for 1990 to 2000. " |
