United Nations subregions
» Main article: United Nations geoscheme
The
Statistics Division of the
United Nations (UN) is in charge of the collection, processing, and dissemination of statistical information for the UN. In
1999, it developed a system of macro-geographical (continental) regions, subregions, and other selected economic groups to report advances towards achieving numerous
millennial development goals worldwide.
This geoscheme was devised for statistical purposes and is used for carrying out statistical analysis. The division's first publication was the book
World's Women 2000: Trends and Statistics in
2000.
This scheme is in use by several bodies within the UN; other schemes are also used. According to the UN, these geographical divisions don't imply any assumption regarding political or other affiliations of
countries or
territories by the UN.
