Health · IDA & IBRD total
Yearly data from 1960 to 2025, from the World Bank.
IDA & IBRD total's population ages 65 and above, female (% of female population) was 9.75% in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 2.27 percentage points from 7.48% in 2015.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 9.75% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 8.65% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 7.48% | 2015 |
| Highest | 9.75% | 2025 |
| Lowest | 4.31% | 1961 |
| Average since 2016 | 8.73% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 4.31% | 1960 |
Over five years it is up 1.1 percentage points from 8.65% in 2020. Since 1960 it is up 5.43 percentage points from 4.31% in 1960.
In 2025, IDA & IBRD total's population ages 65 and above, female (% of female population) rose 0.2 percentage points on 2024 (from 9.55% to 9.75%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.13 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.07 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.25 percentage points in 2019 and the biggest yearly fall was 0 percentage points in 1961. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.23 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 100% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 10.45% for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 0.08%, against 0.46% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

Female population 65 years of age or older as a percentage of the total female population. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
