Data notes & caveats
Ages 15–64 are deliberately omitted because the page is a youth-versus-old-age benchmark, not a full age distribution.
Methodology
The statistic uses the published under-15 share and the 65+ share stated in the same source note, with total population as the denominator.
Source consistency notes
All directly compared values are kept on the source, period and unit basis stated in their rows; mixed-status or mixed-denominator support metrics are explicitly separated.
