Strictly speaking, the age structure of the population only refers to the percentage (relative number) of the population of all ages, which is the second column in the above table. But sometimes, in addition to the relative proportion of the population of each age group, the figures (absolute numbers) of the population of each age group are also arranged together, as shown in column 1 of the above table.

The age structure of population can be grouped by 1 year, 5 years old, 1 year old or other specific age groups, of which1year old is the most basic, and other age groups can be combined on this basis. Take the commonly used special age group as an example. In order to reflect the types of population age structure, the population is divided into three groups: 0 ~ 14 years old, 15 ~ 64 years old, 65 years old and above, that is, children's group, adult group and elderly group. Population age grouping is also often used in combination with gender grouping.
