- What is Other small states's population ages 05-09, male (% of male population)?
- 7.9% in 2025, according to the World Bank (World Development Indicators).
- How has it changed since 1960?
- It is down 4.52 percentage points from 12.41% in 1960. The highest value was 12.61% in 1964 and the lowest 7.9% in 2025.
- Is the latest change in population ages 05-09, male (% of male population) unusual for Other small states?
- In 2025, Other small states' population ages 05-09, male (% of male population) fell 0.09 percentage points on 2024 (from 7.99% to 7.9%). 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 0.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
- Where is Other small states's population ages 05-09, male (% of male population) heading?
- From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.1 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 99% of the movement over 10 observed years. Extending that straight line gives about 7.53% 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 0.16% 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.
