Answer
The age composition of a population refers to the number of people in different age groups in a country.
It is one of the most basic characteristics of a population. To an important degree, a person’s age influences what he/ she needs, buys, does and his/ her capacity to perform.
Consequently, the number and percentage of a population found within the children, working age and aged groups are notable determinants of the population’s social and economic structure.
