IDA & IBRD total: Population ages 0-14, total

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, IDA & IBRD total's population ages 0-14, total fell 0.3% on 2024 (from 1.82 billion to 1.82 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.4% and a typical year strayed about 0.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.2% in 1963 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.3% in 2025. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 22% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
