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 levels: - Ages 0 to 14 years: children and adolescents
- Ages 15 to 64 years: working population or population in education
- Over the age of 65: retirees; elderly
The age structure of a country has a strong impact on society and the economy. If the proportion of 0-14-year-olds is very high, there may be a so-called Youth Bulge. If, on the other hand, the proportion of over 65 is very high, the social systems of a country can be heavily burdened. List All numbers are for the year 2017.
