This population comparison makes extensive use of the
United Nation's World
Population Prospects: The 2008 Population Database.
Open up this Excel spreadsheet: Latin
America Population Comparison. Follow the instructions on
this sheet. For this spreadsheet you need to import one set
of data from the UN site (the first worksheet requires this).
Once the correct data is imported, this spreadsheet will generate a set
of charts that compares your country's basic population statistics to
those of the entire Latin American and Caribbean region. We will
then be able to learn about population trends from 1950 to the
present and even the UN projections to the year 2050. We will

The spreadsheet also allows you to generate age-sex pyramids for your country and a set of statistics on past and future urbanization. If you want to do this follow the instructions on the last two sheets in the file: AgeSexData_C and UrbanDataSheet.
