Age composition

Latin America and the Caribbean Key Indicators
Definition
Age that divides the population in two parts of equal size, that is, there are as many persons with ages above the median as there are with ages below the median. It is expressed as years.
Method of Calculation
Data source specific method of calculation:
IPUMS:
The median is calculated from cumulated single-year percentage distributions of age. Median is linearly interpolated between single-year percentage distributions that occur at ages before and after 50 percent of the population.
Expected Frequency of Data Dissemination

Comments
IPUMS: Age is only available as grouped intervals for these samples: United Kingdom 2001; Israel 1972, 1983, 1995; Italy 2001, 2011; Ireland 1971, 1979, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2002, 2006; Netherlands 1960, 1971, 2001, 2011; Palestine 1997, 2007; Slovenia 2002. In the AGE variable, data are coded to the mid-points of the intervals (rounding down). Estimates may not be as accurate for these samples as for samples that provide age in single-year values.
