The Custom TableMaker allows you to build your own table in three steps.
Step One: Select categories.
Measures are organized into eight subject categories, so that you can avoid scrolling through hundreds of items to find what you need.
- You can select one or two categories.
- You can combine measures from two categories in the same table.
Step Two: Select measures.
Measures for the subject areas you selected in Step One are presented as a list on this screen.
- All measures return data by country unless labeled "U.S. and each state."
- Most measures are available for only a subset of countries in the database. (In Step Three, you will be able to choose from a list of available countries).
- You can choose as many measures as you like.
- More measures will generate a wider table. As a general guideline, tables with up to 12 measures will return quickly and print on a single legal-size sheet. (See "Printing Tables" below.)
Step Three: Select countries or states.
This screen will display ONLY the countries or states with available data for the measures you selected in Step Two.
Data Sources:
Tables are generated from unique databases compiled by the Guttmacher Institute. The Custom TableMaker currently includes data from the following publications:
Data presented for a given measure in the Tablemaker may not be the most current data held by the Guttmacher Institute. The Tablemaker database holds data sets from selected, previously published print and online reports. Please see "Survey Year" notes at the bottom of each table to gauge currency of the data.
