 Old age groups

In Namibia, age groups can be categorized for demographic, social, and policy purposes. Here's a general breakdown:

  • Children (0-14 years): This group typically includes infants, toddlers, and adolescents up to 14 years old.
  • Working-age Adults (15-64 years): This group encompasses individuals who are generally in the labor force or economically active.
    • Young Adults (15-24 years): Often considered in terms of education and entry into the workforce.
    • Middle-aged Adults (25-44 years): Typically the core working population.
    • Older Working-age Adults (45-64 years): Includes individuals approaching retirement age.
  • Elderly (65 years and older): This group includes retirees and older adults, often considered in the context of retirement, healthcare, and social support.

These categories help in understanding the population structure and planning for services and resources
