The 2005 edition of Latin America and the Caribbean: Selected Economic and Social Data (the
LAC Databook), includes the most recent data at the time of publication from a multitude of
international and national sources. The Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean of the US
Agency for International Development presents this Databook with the goal of gathering and
presenting the most up-to-date information possible from official country sources and leading
international institutions. With this edition, we have supplemented the traditional data tables
with summary charts at the beginning of each chapter and have provided statistics useful for
trends analysis. Presentation of many of the tables and figures in the LAC Databook allows for
comparisons to be made across both countries and time. If interpreted with care, the data in
this publication can present a useful picture of the state of socioeconomic development in the
LAC region.
The LAC Databook has on online counterpart. From http://www.usaid.gov/, select "Latin America and
the Caribbean" under the "Locations" heading. Then select "Economic and Social Database" in
the sidebar to the right at the top of the page. At the LAC Databook's website, users can
construct their own data tables and save them in html, spreadsheet, and text formats. The
online database and the print publication share the same organizational scheme. From the
same Internet site, a copy of this print edition can be downloaded in PDF format in its entirety
and by individual chapter.
