Data

Median Age Data: The age (in years) of the person in the population for whom 50.00% of the population is younger. These data are comprised of estimates (1972-2015) and UN medium fertility variant projections (2015-50). Source: UN Population Division, 2017 (GCC states from USCB-IPC); Format: Excel CSV file.

Freedom Scores: Average of political rights (PR) and civil liberties (CL) scores from annual surveys by Freedom House (1972 - present). Source: Freedom House, 2019 (irregular publication of data in early years of survey have been filled in using correlations with Polity IV scores); Format: Excel CSV file.

Probabilities of Liberal Democracy for 7 Regions. These seven charts provide regional views of Freedom House's three Freedom Status categories (Free, Partly Free, Not Free), arranged by median age and "naive probabilities" of liberal democracy (according to a model that does not account for some important "controlling factors"). Source: updated from Cincotta, 2015, using data from UN Population Division and Freedom House; Format: Excel.
