Supplementary notes

Figures have been rounded.

Estimates are based on a subset of 105 countries, covering 90 percent of the 20–24-year-old female population of the developing world (excluding China, for which comparable data are not available). Regional estimates represent data from countries that cover at least 50 percent of the regional population. Data coverage was insufficient to calculate an average for industrialized countries.
