How this figure is calculated
Population ages 65 and above, 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 65 and above, total ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Population ages 65 and above, 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.
