List of countries by age structure. The following list of countries by age structure sorts the countries of the world according to the age distribution of their population. The population is divided into three groups: Ages 0 to 14 years: children. Ages 15 to 64 years: working population or adults. Over the age of 65: elderly, senior citizens.
It is the only index associated with the age distribution of a population. [1] Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 18 or less in most Least Developed countries to 40 or more in most European countries, Canada, Cuba, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. [2][3] The median age of women tends to be much greater than ...
Population ageing is an increasing median age in a population because of declining fertility rates and rising life expectancy. Most countries have rising life expectancy and an ageing population, trends that emerged first in developed countries but are now seen in virtually all developing countries. In most developed countries, the phenomenon ...
Only countries with populations over 50,000 are listed. Due to this criterion, the table does not include such countries as Monaco (LE 86.37 years, population 39,000), San Marino (LE 85.71 years, population 34,000), and Saint Barthélemy (LE 84.29 years, population 11,000). The values are rounded, all calculations were done on raw data.
Japan's population in three demographic categories, from 1920 to 2010, with projections to 2060. Japan has the highest proportion of elderly citizens of any country in the world. [1] 2014 estimates showed that about 38% of the Japanese population was above the age of 60, and 25.9% was above the age of 65, a figure that increased to 29.1% by 2022.
Aging of China. China's population pyramid, 2023 to 2100, as projected by the United Nations in 2022. China's population is aging faster than almost all other countries in modern history. [1][2] In 2050, the proportion of Chinese over retirement age will become 39 percent of the total population according to projections.

Nearly 60% of the world's population lives in Asia, with more ...
The ageing of Europe, also known as the greying of Europe, is a demographic phenomenon in Europe characterised by a decrease in fertility, a decrease in mortality rate, and a higher life expectancy among European populations. [1] Low birth rates and higher life expectancy contribute to the transformation of Europe's population pyramid shape.
