The country studies in this report contain child labor, education, and country expenditure data from a variety of sources. Statistics from the following tables come from sources compiled by agencies that have made some efforts to standardize the data by employing different methodological techniques. Social, demographic, and economic indicators are from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators 2000 , United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s Education for All: Year 2000 Assessment , and the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Data Base (IDB). Data from these sources are not entirely comparable and readers are asked to use caution when comparing figures from more than one source, as well as comparing data across countries. Different data collection and estimation procedures may affect the accuracy of estimates and comparability of data. The following is a list of the tables presented in this appendix.
