Technical notes: Estimates and projections of the total population and population by age and sex are prepared by the Population Division of the United Nations Secretariat and revised every two years in order to incorporate new data. In general, these population figures are estimates of persons resident in the country or area at mid-year. They are usually based on population census data adjusted to the specified year, taking account of birth, death and international migration rates as determined from population surveys and registers and other national sources as available. Short-term residents and visitors in the country or area for less than one year are usually excluded. The percentages of population under age 15 and of population of each sex aged 60 or over are calculated by the Statistics Division of the United Nations Secretariat from the estimates of population by sex and age prepared by the Population Division. Men per 100 women aged 60 or over are calculated by the Statistics Division of the United Nations Secretariat from the population estimates given. Copyright © 1997, United Nations.
