She counts as being in a union if she lives with a partner in the same household without being married, sometimes called a cohabiting or consensual union.\n- The UN Population Division estimates these figures for every country and year by combining census and survey data with population estimates from the UN’s World Population Prospects.\n- Before a country’s first census or survey, the UN keeps its values at the level of that first data point, so early values can stay flat for many years.\n- Values for the years after a country’s most recent census or survey are projections, which is why the year when projections start differs between countries.
