    The document summarizes the age distribution of populations in less developed and more developed regions of the world based on data from 2005. It shows that less developed regions have significantly younger populations, with almost one-third under age 15 compared to less than one-fifth in more developed countries. This is due to higher levels of childbearing in recent decades in less developed regions, resulting in more than 2 billion young people below age 20 that will soon become parents.

    Notes on Age Distribution of the Worlds Population


    Sex and age distributions show that less developed countries have significantly younger populations than more developed countries. Almost one-third of the population in less developed countries is under age 15. In contrast, less than one-fifth of the population in more developed countries is under 15. Today there are more than 2 billion young people below age 20 in less developed regionsthe age cohort that will soon become the worlds newest group of parents. Young age structures in the less developed countries are due mainly to higher levels of childbearing in recent decades.
