DemoGraphics '96
This software was developed for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Association with the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). DemoGraphics '96 was designed as a tool for population education - making it easy to present demographic trends for all countries and major regions worldwide in animated charts, maps and moving age pyramids. The software also includes more analytical data displays, such as dynamic scatter plots which can show the relationship between two indicators over time. More ...

It can be used to sort and rank countries and regions worldwide according to key demographic indicators. Currently, the DemoTables '96 software is distributed for free to customers of the DemoGraphics '96 software package.  More ...

The Regional Analysis and Planning System (RAPS) consists of three components: a) A province-level database with more than 300 carefully selected development indicators. b) A set of software tools to browse, filter, and sort these data, and to combine the variables into customized regional development indicators, such as a Human Development Index, a Natural Resource Index, or an Environmental Protection Index. c) A set of easy-to-use software tools for visualizing the spatial distribution of variables and indices. These consist of thematic maps and various types of figures and charts. More ...
