Age-Sex Structure
The composition of a population as determined by the number or proportion of males and females in each age category. The age-structure of a population is the cumulative result of past trends in fertility, mortality, and migration rates. Information on age-sex composition is an essential prerequisite for the description and analysis of demographic data.
