Highest Average Age
Understand highest average age: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Population projections are conditional calculations, not promises about the future. Fertility, mortality and migration assumptions shape the result, and differences accumulate over decades. A ranking for 2100 is therefore more uncertain than a current estimate. Age statistics also need care: the median splits a population into two equal halves, while an arithmetic average can be affected differently by its age distribution.
About the data
Population projections require a stated revision and scenario, usually the medium variant. Highest Average Age uses median age. The original observation year/scenario is missing from the stored records.
