Israel: birth background and country comparison

Population
9,256,000 people
Annual births
172,312 births per year
Life expectancy at birth
82.4 years

Israel: the share of annual births across the 172 places in this game dataset is 0.1306%. The population baseline is 9,256,000, and annual births total 172,312. These figures describe a shared starting context, not an individual's future.

A mixed-year snapshot covering 172 countries, not live statistics. Sources, missing values and limitations

Put the numbers in context. Current selection: Israel. Compare the data with a place you choose, then see why a country’s birth share and population share can differ.

How should I read these numbers?

Life expectancy and expected years of schooling describe populations, not an individual's lifespan or graduation date. Under-five mortality is per 1,000 live births, not a percentage. GDP per person at purchasing power parity is not salary. Reference years differ, so these rows do not establish causes or time trends.

More births does not mean the same population share

The two homepage sampling modes use different denominators. For the selected place (Israel), this table explains its weight in the dataset; it does not change your game settings.

From the data to a life

Random sampling provides a starting background. Later events combine the character's circumstances, choices and randomness.

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.
