The denominator corresponds to the total size of the population defined as above the statutory pensionable age or aged 65 or above (for further details, see ILO 2014, Concepts and Definitions for table B.9). In Africa, contributors represent a small share of the working-age population and pensioners are only a minority of older adults. In sub-Saharan Africa only 5.8 per cent of the working-age population and 16.9 per cent of older adults are covered. In Latin America, pension coverage is somewhat higher but still far from complete, with pensioners representing 56.1 per cent of the population above the retirement age.
