Coding rules
- This variable measures the population between the ages 15 to 64 as a percentage of the total population. The age structure in the World Bank's population estimates is derived from the United Nations Population Division's World Population Prospects. The total population is based on the de facto population, which includes all residents, regardless of their legal status or citizenship. The figures presented are midyear estimates.
- Teorell et al. (2024:1571) defines the variable as "Total population between the ages 15 to 64 as a percentage of the total population. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship."
