NOTES
k Includes Nagorno-Karabakh.
a Because data are based on national definitions of what constitutes a city or metropolitan area, cross-country comparisons should be made with caution.
l Includes Kosovo.
b The natural sex ratio at birth is commonly assumed and empirically confirmed to be 1.05 male births to 1 female births. c Projections based on medium-fertility variant. d Includes Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands.
m Includes Abkhazia and South Ossetia. n Includes East Jerusalem. o Includes Transnistria. p Includes Zanzibar T From original data source. DEFINITIONS
e Includes Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island.
Population: De facto population in a country, area or region as of 1 July.

Population ages 65 and older: De facto population in a country, area or region ages 65 and older as of 1 July.
Population average annual growth rate: Average annual exponential growth rate for the period specified. Urban population: De facto population living in areas classified as urban according to the criteria used by each country or area as of July 1. Median age: Age that divides the population distribution into two equal parts—that is, 50 percent of the population is above that age and 50 percent is below it. Young age dependency ratio: Ratio of the population ages 0–14 to the population ages 15–64, expressed as the number of dependants per 100 persons of working age (ages 15–64).
expressed as the number of dependants per 100 people of working age (ages 15–64). Total fertility rate: Number of children that would be born to a woman if she were to live to the end of her child-bearing years and bear children at each age in accordance with prevailing age-specific fertility rates. Sex ratio at birth: Number of male births per female birth. MAIN DATA SOURCES Columns 1–6 and 8–13: UNDESA 2013a. Column 7: UNDESA 2013b.
Old age dependency ratio: Ratio of the population ages 65 and older to the population ages 15–64,
