How this figure is calculated
Population aged 65 years or older (thousands) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Population aged 65 years or older (thousands) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Population aged 65 years or older UNESCO Institute for Statistics
- 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.
