How this figure is calculated

Population ages 20-24, female 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 20-24, female ÷ Population, total

Computed from

Population ages 20-24, female World Bank staff estimates using the World Bank's total population and age/sex distributions of the United Nations Population Division's World Population Prospects
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.
