Methodology
SP.POP.TOTL: Total population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship. The values shown are midyear estimates. SP.POP.65UP.TO.ZS: Population ages 65 and above as a percentage of the total population. Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship. SP.POP.0014.TO.ZS: Population between the ages 0 to 14 as a percentage of the total population. Population is based on the de facto definition of population. SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS: Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices. The data are collected and smoothed by United Nations Population Division.
World Bank WDI figures are revised when the World Bank or the underlying national and UN sources revise them; the retrieval date is shown.
These are modelled mid-year estimates of residents, not the civil registration count published by Thailand's Department of Provincial Administration, which counts registered Thai nationals and differs.
