==== ASM Population: 9,000,000 ====
Estimation follows data from MMSD-03 -> **9,000,000**.\\
Min/max: following MMSD-03, but with minimum set higher at 7M which seems more realistic than 3M. -> **7-15 million**\\
Female participation: no data. +25% does not appear unrealistic for China. -> **2,500,000**.\\
Gold: using data from UBC-14 -> **2,750,000**.

==== Data sources for estimation ====

===2018: 9,000,000 ===
ARM-18 and IGF-18 quoting data from IIED-13, which originate from MMSD-03

===2014: 2,746,000 ===
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling: \\
  Expected ASM population: 2,746,000 
  Estimated ASM gold production: 48.2 t/a

===2013: 9,000,000 === 
(IIED-13): 3,000,000 - 15,000,000 (inherited from MMSD-03)\\

===2003: 9,000,000 ===
(MMSD-03):  Estimate for MMSD research country: **3,000,000 - 15,000,000**\\
MMSD study by A.J.Gunson and Y.Jian (http://pubs.iied.org/pdfs/G00719.pdf)\\

===1999: 4,300,000 ===
(ILO-99): Employment: 4,300,000\\
