The Division was established in 1946 to serve as the secretariat of the Population Commission. Over the years, it has contributed to, and supported, the global dialogue on population and development at the United Nations, producing regularly updated demographic estimates and projections for all countries as well as providing data which are essential for monitoring the status of implementation of internationally agreed development goals in the area of population, including those contained in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Division prepares population estimates and projections as well as estimates of the international migrant stock for all countries in the world on a regular basis.
