How this figure is calculated

Population ages 15-64, total divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Population ages 15-64, total ÷ Population, total

Computed from

Population ages 15-64, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN), publisher: UN Population Division
Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
