Yearly Change : For absolute change in total population increase or decrease in number of people over the last year from July 1, to June 30 For all other years: average annual numerical change over the preceding five year period. Migrants net : The average annual number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants over the preceding five year period running from July 1 to June 30 of the initial and final years , or subsequent five year period for data.
A negative number means that there are more emigrants than immigrants. Median Age : age that divides the population into two numerically equal groups: half of the people are older than the median age indicated and half are younger.
This parameter provides an indication of age distribution. It is calculated as the average number of children an average woman will have during her reproductive period 15 to 49 years old based on the current fertility rates of every age group in the country, and assuming she is not subject to mortality.
Urban Population : Population living in areas classified as urban according to the criteria used by each country. Rapid urban growth has resulted in various problems for South Korea. High-rise apartments were constructed in order to help alleviate housing shortages. But it also caused severe hardship on the thousands of people who were forced to relocate from their old neighborhoods since they were unable to afford the rents in the new buildings.
In the late s, squatter areas which contained one-story shacks still existed in different parts of Seoul. Housing for most of the population, bar the wealthiest, was generally cramped. The concentration of factories in urban areas and the use of coal for heating during the severe winter months resulted in dangerous levels of air and water pollution, issues that still remain today. South Korea is officially known as The Republic of Korea and is located in the southern part of the Korea peninsula, which neighbors China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the north.
The largest city and capital is Seoul , which has a population of just under 10 million. The country had its first election at and operates under a powerful presidential system. The median age in South Korea is approximately Life expectancy is approximately Physician density is at approximately 2. However, they differentiate themselves from many other nations because of how well people of all belief systems coexist peacefully. The average life expectancy from WHO data is Although there has been a significant increase in life expectancy since , South Korea still faces numerous problems in relation to healthcare.
Approximately To understand the risks and respond appropriately we would also want to know the mortality risk of COVID — the likelihood that someone who is infected with the disease will die from it. We look into this question in more detail on our page about the mortality risk of COVID , where we explain that this requires us to know — or estimate — the number of total cases and the final number of deaths for a given infected population.
Because these are not known , we discuss what the current data can and can not tell us about the risk of death. How do the cumulative number of confirmed deaths and cases compare?
The case fatality rate is the number of confirmed deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. During an outbreak — and especially when the total number of cases is not known — one has to be very careful in interpreting the CFR. We wrote a detailed explainer on what can and can not be said based on current CFR figures. This tracker collects publicly available information on 17 indicators of government responses, spanning containment and closure policies such as school closures and restrictions in movement ; economic policies; and health system policies such as testing regimes.
Travel bans, stay-at-home restrictions, school closures — how have countries responded to the pandemic? Explore the data on all policy measures. The chart here shows how governmental response has changed over time. It shows the Government Stringency Index — a composite measure of the strictness of policy responses. The index on any given day is calculated as the mean score of nine policy measures, each taking a value between 0 and You can see all of these separately on our page on policy re s ponses.
There you can also compare these responses in countries across the world. None selected. Confirmed cases. Which world regions have the most daily confirmed cases?
Daily confirmed cases by region. What is important to note about these case figures? The reported case figures on a given date do not necessarily show the number of new cases on that day — this is due to delays in reporting.
The actual number of cases is likely to be much higher than the number of confirmed cases — this is due to limited testing. Five quick reminders on how to interact with this chart By clicking on Add country you can show and compare the data for any country in the world you are interested in.
