Title
Guyana - Age and gender structures
Description
Age and gender structures: WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application. An overview of the data can be found in Tatem et al , and a description of the modelling methods used found in Tatem et al and Pezzulo et al . The ' Global per country 2000-2020 ' datasets represent the outputs from a project focused on construction of consistent 100m resolution population count datasets for all countries of the World for each year 2000-2020 structured by male/female and 5-year age classes (plus a <1 year class). These efforts necessarily involved some shortcuts for consistency. The ' individual countries ' datasets represent older efforts to map population age and gender counts for each country separately, using a set of tailored geospatial inputs and differing methods and time periods. The ' whole continent ' datasets are mosaics of the individual countries datasets.
