Fast facts about the 56 UNECE countries
- Did you know that 46% of Armenia’s population is employed in
the agricultural sector?

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s Statistical Division
has developed and recently released a new fast fact guide - UNECE
Countries in Figures 2007 . Each and every UNECE country
in Europe, North America, the Caucasus, and Central Asia* has
a two-page profile of social and economic indicators.
Data is presented for the most recent whole year available. The latest data
is available on-line through the UNECE Statistical Database (http://www.unece.org/stats/data ).
The UNECE Statistical Database contains internationally comparable statistics,
and is regularly updated by statistical experts. UNECE Countries
in Figures 2007 provides an example of the types of data available
in that database.
This publication is also intended for readers who are not so familiar with
statistical terms or with interpreting statistical tables. It includes explanations
of the terminology used, and translations of that terminology into French
and Russian.
This fast fact guide can be purchased through the United Nations bookshops
in Geneva and New York, or at the email address: [email protected].
The publication may also be obtained from distributors of United Nations publications: https://unp.un.org/howto_distributors.aspx.
Please visit the UNECE Countries in Figures 2007 website for further information
and sample country profiles: http://www.unece.org/stats/profiles2007.
