How many people of working age a country has by the international definition.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2025.
Top-20 · people
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The population aged 15 to 64 inclusive — the group that international statistics treat as working age regardless of the national retirement age. Its growth relative to the other groups is called the demographic dividend: it gives a country a period when workers are many and dependents are few. That period is finite, and this series shows which countries are passing through it now and which have already passed it.
Important: The 15–64 bounds are a convention and do not coincide with the retirement age in any country. This is not the number of people employed — the labor force indicator covers that.
How many children and adolescents younger than 15 there are in a country.
Demography 1960–2025 Population aged 65 and overHow many people aged 65 and over there are in a country.
Demography 1960–2025 Age dependency ratioHow many dependents — children and older people — there are per 100 people of working age.
Labor 1990–2025 Labor forceThe number of people employed or actively looking for work — the economically active population.
