Data for 1994

Population Under Age 15, 1994

1994, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The share of a country's population aged under 15 is the plainest measure of how young a population is. It tells a government how many school places, vaccinations and, a few years later, jobs it must plan for.

Population Under Age 15, 1994 covers 222 countries. Yemen is highest, at 51.101; Vatican City is lowest, at 10.697. The middle country reads 34.774. Against 1993, 222 values changed (54 up, 168 down), the same countries are covered.
