Data valid as of January 1 of each year indicated.
The green population pressure is the ratio of the non-working population (0-20 years) to the working population (20-65 years) and is calculated by dividing the total of the non-working young population by the working population x 100. The higher the green population pressure, the more non-working people under the age of 20 the working population has to support.
