The 2010 Revision is the twenty second round of official United Nations population estimates and projections prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. These are used throughout the United Nations system as the basis for activities requiring population information. The 2010 Revision builds on the 2008 Revision and incorporates the results of the 2000 and 2010 round of national population censuses as well as of recent specialized surveys carried around the world. These sources provide both demographic and other information to assess the progress made in achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The comprehensive review of past worldwide demographic trends and future prospects presented in the 2010 Revision provides the population basis for the assessment of those goals.
