The % of adults had been slightly revised.  The dataset for “Number of people living with HIV” had been revised backwards up to 1990 by UNAIDS. See the newest estimates in the Gapminder World.

You can also find WHO’s most recent MMR estimates (up to 2010) under “For advanced users”. See the updated maternal health data in the Gapminder World.

The data source is the World Bank and values are displayed in current US$. See the bubbles in the Gapminder World.

We changed the source for both indicators. We also changed the indicator for nuclear power, which now displays electricity produced by nuclear power plants used to generate electricity. See the new indicator in the Gapminder World.

Please note that the currency was changed from constant 2009$, which led to small changes in the dataset. See the updated version in the Gapminder World.

Due to backward revisions in the population data, there are backward revisions to previous versions of the indicator. See the world’s income in the Gapminder World.
