As of June 2016, New Zealand's working age population rose by 3.6 percent to 1.58 million.

As fertility declines, the proportion of the population comprising children (persons under age 15) also declines, whereas the proportion of the population of working age increases, resulting in a decreasing dependency ratio (defined as the average number of children and elderly persons per 10 persons of working age).

The increase in the number of population age 65 and over is noticeable (from 6,4 to 11 of the total population), and there is a significant fall of active working population in the group age 20 to 40.

In 2002, people of regular working age and working capacity were 44.73 million (accounting for 56.1 of the population) of which women accounted for 50.6 .

From the population structure point of view, a large influx of immigrants means that the ratio of working age population aged 15 to 39 years old gradually expanded.

A recent study conducted by the International Foundation for Global Economic Development reveals that, since 2000, the economically active population (EAP) has tended to increase for demographic reasons, owing to a change in the ratio between the population reaching working age and the population reaching retirement age.

In 2002, women at the working age accounted for 59.55 of the population, 64.74 in urban area and 57.79 in rural area.

Challenges of changing population and age distributions

Just as Europe s population is aging and will be shrinking, that of much of the developing world is young and growing. By 2050 the population of the 50 least developed countries is projected to double, and while the ratio of working age to non working age people in Europe will fall to around 1.4, in the developing world it will be considerably higher.

Finally, and perhaps most important, the population of working age individuals is no longer growing, a result of the 35 year long policy of restricting most families to no more than one child. Although the government recently replaced the one child limit with a two child limit, it will be nearly two decades before that change can increase the size of the working age population.

The most vulnerable group, with 71.8 per cent in 2001, and 64 per cent in 2000, is the working and active population between 15 and 64 years of age.

In addition to providing the full distribution of populations by sex and age by five year age groups to 100 years and over, the published results include several summary statistics on population ageing, including the proportion of the population aged over 60 years and over 65 years, median age of the population and old age dependency ratios.

But China s demographic advantage is diminishing quickly, owing to low fertility rates and population aging. According to the United Nations, by 2030, China s working age population (15 59 years old) will have decreased by 67 million from its 2010 level.

62 percent of our population is below the age of 24.

ILO reported that fewer than half of all men of working age and only 10 per cent of women of working age were employed.

In the population structure, female population often takes up about 50 of the population, and the percentage of women of fertile age in the population goes from about 25 to 26 .

The eurozone s working age population had been growing until 2005, but it will fall from 2015 onward. Given that productivity has not been picking up, fewer workers mean significantly lower potential growth rates.

50 percent of the population over the age of 40 suffers from diabetes.

Nearly 56 per cent of the population is below the age of 24.

Almost half the population was reported to be under 25 years of age.

Italy's population comprised a large number of women over the age of 60.

According to SAKERNAS (National Labor Force Survey), over the years 1996, 2000 and 2003 the working age population, here defined as 15 years, grew from 131.9 to 143.2 and became 152.6 million persons respectively.

It defines the population in the age group from 18 to 35 as youth.

Women make over 51 of the population, 25 of them being in fertile age.

About 50 per cent of the population is younger than 35 years of age.

Educational standard of the Dutch population aged 15 64 (by ethnic background and age)

That was equivalent to five per cent of the world population under age 15.

In the population structure, female population often takes up 50 of the total number of population, while the percentage of women of fertile age goes from 25 to 26 .

The Population Division is planning to convene an expert meeting on the social and economic implications of changing population age structures during 2005.

Moreover, Africa has the world s fastest growing population and the youngest, with more than half under 20 years old, compared to 28 in China. The United Nations estimates that the continent will account for more than 40 of global population growth through 2030, with the working age population expected to surpass that of China by 2040.

This is not only a human rights issue, but also an economic one. Following current demographic trends, by 2040, Roma will comprise roughly 40 of Hungary s working age population. Statistics are similar for neighboring countries.

Hard drinks are consumed by 12 per cent of the school age population (8.7 per cent at the age of 11, 14.3 per cent at the age of 13, and 13 per cent at the age of 15).

Over 70 per cent of the population of Nicaragua is under the age of 30.

Working hours of those in the working age has increased, reaching 77.65 in 2003 the women's rate was 77.36 .
