Yemen — population, births, and life expectancy
Births and population
Yemen accounts for 1.0512% of annual births across the 172 places in this game dataset. The population baseline is 39,391,000, and annual births total 1,386,914. These figures describe a shared starting context, not an individual's future.
Health and life expectancy
Life expectancy at birth is 69.3 years; under-five mortality is 39.5 per 1,000 live births. These are population-level baselines, not an individual prognosis. The female and male figures below are game estimates derived from the average and a modeled gap.
Education and living conditions
Expected years of schooling: 7.5 years. GDP per capita at purchasing power parity: 2,000 international dollars. Internet use: 17%. A national average cannot describe every household or explain the causes of a difference.

Sources and interpretation
The existing baseline draws on UN World Population Prospects 2024 and World Bank development indicators, among other public statistics. It combines different reference years; individual observation years and estimation flags were not retained. Consult the original series before using these figures for research or current decisions.
The supplementary indicators retain values from a reference model. Some missing observations in the original model may have been replaced with regional averages; affected values are not individually flagged. Individual values have not all been checked against the original statistical agencies. These are not current live measurements.
For definitions and source context, consult UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation, UNAIDS HIV data, WHO road safety and health expenditure data, and World Happiness Report. These are source-lineage references, not a claim that every value matches the current series.
The dataset covers 172 places. Birth shares are calculated within this covered set, not from a complete live global census. Missing values remain missing. Gross tertiary enrollment can exceed 100%; GDP at PPP is not a salary, and the Gini index here uses a 0–1 scale. Game estimates are not official forecasts.
