About This Statistic
Population between the ages 0 to 14 as a percentage of the total population. Population is based on the de facto definition of population.
Values use one fixed 2025 reference year from World Development Indicators series SP.POP.0014.TO.ZS. MapTheory excludes aggregates, missing/non-finite values, and geographies without an ISO 3166-1 numeric mapping; it does not interpolate missing countries.
Methodology
