<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>Global database:</strong><br> Percentage of Total Population by various functional combination of age groups (0-14, 0-17, primary and secondary school ages, 15-24, 15-49, ..., 18+, 50+, etc.). De facto population as of 1 July of the year indicated. Figures are expressed per 100 population.
<br><strong>IPUMS:</strong><br> The number of persons age 0 to 4 divided by the total population. Age is determined using the IPUMS AGE variable: <a href="https://international.ipums.org/international-action/variables/AGE#codes_section">Link</a>.<br></p>
