The Number of Working-Age Adults Available to Support anOlder Person Is Declining Globally but Still Varies SubstantiallyFrom Country to Country.Population aging puts pressure on a societys ability to support its elderly citizens. A commonly used indicator of this pressure is the elderly
support ratio, calculated as the number of working-age people ages 15 to 64 divided by the number of persons 65 or older. This ratioserves as a rough indicator of the number of potential providers of support per potential elderly dependent. In 1950, there were 12 working
age people for every elderly person in the world. By 2010, this ratio had declined to 9, with the largest decline occurring in more developed
countries. But the ratios still vary substantially across countries. In 24 countries, mostly in Europe, there are fewer than 5 working-age
people for every elderly person. The ratio is lowest in Japan, Italy, and Germanyat 3. The ratio is above 25 in seven countries, principally
in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. By 2050, the ratio for the world is projected to decline by more than one-halfto 4, and Japan
will have the lowest ratio of only 1 working-age adult per elderly person. The elderly support ratio will be below 5 in more than half of the
worlds countries. By 2050, no country will have a ratio above 20.

NOTES
he Data Sheetlists all geopolitical entities
with populations of 150,000 or more and
ll members of the UN. These include
overeign states, dependencies, overseas
epartments, and some territories whose
tatus or boundaries may be undetermined
r in dispute. More developed regions,
ollowing the UN classication, comprise
ll of Europe and North America, plus
Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. All
ther regions and countries are classied
s less developed. The least developed
ountries consist of 49 countries with
specially low incomes, high economic
ulnerability, and poor human developmentndicators. The criteria and list of countries,
s dened by the United Nations, can be
ound at www.unohrlls.org/en/ldc/.
Sub-Saharan Africa: All countries of
frica except the northern African countries
f Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia,
nd Western Sahara.
World and Regional Totals: Regional
opulation totals are independently rounded
nd include small countries or areas not
hown. Regional and world rates and per-
entages are weighted averages of countries
or which data are available; regional aver-
ges are shown when data or estimates are
vailable for at least three-quarters of the
egions population.
World Population Data Sheets from different
ears should not be used as a time series.
luctuations in values from year to year
ften reect revisions based on new data or
stimates rather than actual changes in levels.
dditional information on likely trends and
onsistent time series can be obtained from
RB, and are also available in UN and U.S.
ensus Bureau publications and websites.
SOURCES
The rates and gures are primarily compiled
from the following sources: ofcial country
statistical yearbooks, bulletins, and websites;
United Nations Demographic Yearbook, 2007
of the UN Statistics Division; World Population
Prospects: The 2008 Revisionof the UN
Population Division; and the International
Data Base of the International Programs
Center, U.S. Census Bureau. Other sourcesinclude recent demographic surveys such
as the Demographic and Health Surveys,
Reproductive Health Surveys, special studies,
and direct communication with demographers
and statistical bureaus in the United States
and abroad. Specic data sources may be
obtained by contacting the author of the
2010 World Population Data Sheet. For
countries with complete registration of births
and deaths, rates are those most recently
reported. For more developed countries,
nearly all vital rates refer to 2009 or 2008.
DEFINITIONS
Mid-2010 Population
Estimates are based on a recent census;
ofcial national data; or PRB, UN, and U.S.
Census Bureau projections. The effects
of refugee movements, large numbers of
foreign workers, and population shifts due to
contemporary political events are taken into
account to the extent possible.
Birth and Death Rate
The annual number of births and deaths
per 1,000 total population. These rates are
often referred to as crude rates since they
do not take a populations age structure into
account. Thus, crude death rates in moredeveloped countries, with a relatively large
proportion of high-mortality older population,
are often higher than those in less developed
countries with lower life expectancy.
Rate of Natural Increase (RNI)
The birth rate minus the death rate, implying the
annual rate of population growth without regard
for migration. Expressed as a percentage.
Net Migration
The estimated rate of net immigration
(immigration minus emigration) per 1,000
population for a recent year based upon
the ofcial national rate or derived as a
residual from estimated birth, death, and
population growth rates. Migration rates
can vary substantially from year to year for
any particular country, as can the denition
of an immigrant.
2050 Population as a Multiple of 2010
Projected populations based upon reason-
able assumptions on the future course of
fertility, mortality, and migration. Projections
are based upon ofcial country projections,
series issued by the UN or the U.S. Census
Bureau, or PRB projections.
Infant Mortality Rate
The annual number of deaths of infants under
age 1 per 1,000 live births. Rates shown with
decimals indicate national statistics reported
as completely registered, while those without
are estimates from the sources cited above.
Rates shown in italics are based upon fewer
than 50 annual infant deaths and, as a result,
are subject to considerable yearly variability.
Total Fertility Rate (TFR)The average number of children a woman
would have assuming that current
age-specic birth rates remain constant
throughout her childbearing years (usually
considered to be ages 15-49).
Population Under Age 15/Age 65+
The percentage of the total population in
these ages, which are often considered the
dependent ages.
Elderly Support Ratio
The number of working-age people ages
15-64 divided by the number of persons 65
or older, indicating levels of potential societalsupport available for the elderly.
Life Expectancy at Birth
The average number of years a newborn
infant can expect to live under current
mortality levels.
Percent Urban
Percentage of the total population living
in areas termed urban by that country.
Countries dene urban in many different
ways, from population centers of 100 or
more dwellings to only the population living
in national and provincial capitals.
Prevalence of HIV/AIDSThe estimated percentage of adults ages
15-49 living with HIV/AIDS. Most gures are
from UNAIDS 2008 Report on the Global
AIDS Epidemic. Figures are updated with
data from Demographic and Health Surveys
where available. Some regional averages
were calculated by PRB.
Contraceptive Use
The percentage of currently married or
in-union women of reproductive age
who are using any form of contraception.
Modern methods include clinic and supply
methods such as the pill, IUD, condom, and
sterilization. Data are from the most recently
available national-level surveys, such as
Demographic and Health Surveys, Repro-
ductive Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator
Cluster Surveys, regional survey programs,
