Population is a small data desk. Younivi publishes it as an information project from New Zealand. There is no research floor, no sales desk and no invented masthead of analysts.
The product is narrow on purpose. Each page shows one World Bank series at a time: total population and the annual population growth rate, from the World Development Indicators. Every page has a filterable chart, a ranked table, a short explanation and a citation.
Country pages at the root of this site give one economy's figures side by side, with a short history for each series and the source line for each. They do not invent a local series we have not ingested, and they never estimate a value the World Bank does not publish.
Younivi publishes this as an information project. It is not a statistical agency or an advisory service. Nothing on the site is a recommendation, and no page offers advice on any country's policy.
The site is written in plain English and kept deliberately small: two series, twenty-five desks, and the pages that explain them. There are no accounts, no feeds and no alerts — just static pages that rebuild when the source data changes.
Sources and licences
Population figures come from the World Bank's World Development Indicators, used under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to the World Bank. Each series page prints the source and its licence. Values are republished unmodified; we do not resell the data or present a producer's figure as our own.
Honest gaps
An economy appears on a series page only where the World Bank publishes it. Where the Bank does not report a series — Taiwan is one example — the page says Not tracked and prints the note explaining why. We do not interpolate a missing year, borrow another economy's numbers, or invent a history to fill a gap.
Editorial independence
Advertising is served through Google AdSense. It has no role in which series we publish or how we describe them, and advertisers cannot influence a page. We do not accept payment to include or exclude an economy, and the pages do not rank economies as better or worse places to live. If a figure or a ranking looks like a judgement of a country, it is not: the ledgers sort numbers, nothing else.
