2025 age-band shares of total world population; UNFPA total population is 8.232B.
World population by age band shows the broad age structure of the global population in 2025. The data uses total world population as the denominator and reports UNFPA age-band shares for children, working-age people and older people. Ages 15–64 accounted for about 65% of the world population, or roughly 5.35 billion people. Ages 0–14 accounted for 24%, while ages 65 and older accounted for 10%.
| Rank | Entry | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ages 15-64 | 65% |
| 2 | Ages 0-14 | 24% |
| 3 | Ages 65+ | 10% |
