Demography

Age structure data

Estimate for 2020:

  • 0-14 years: 9.41% (male 1,497/female 1,415)
  • 15-24 years: 9.52% (male 1,538/female 1,406)
  • 25-54 years: 30.46% (male 4,779/female 4,644)
  • 55-64 years: 15.47% (male 2,370/female 2,417)
  • 65 years and over: 35.15% (male 4,817/female 6,057)

Remark: the age structure of a population affects a nation’s key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.
