So as to correctly harvest annual population revisions from the source, we have decided to expand our harvest to include age bracket, sex and province (see related article). We use these to calculate "both sexes" totals for each age bracket, for each geo (provinces and nation).
The predecessors run from 2001 to 2016. The replacements have an unchanged start date and carry a secondary source citation of "Moody's Analytics Calculated." Figures are unitary counts (#). Geo coverage is the nation and all nine provinces.
The replacements can be found in the historical catalog (South Africa » Demographics » Population » By sex and age) and include, for example (old » new):
- VSQPOPE1014UA.IZAF_FS » VSQPOPET1014UA.IZAF_FS = Mid-year population estimate - Both sexes - Ages 10 to 14, (#) - for Free State
- VSQPOPEMUA.IZAF_GT » VSQPOPEMTUA.IZAF_GT = Males - All ages - for Gauteng
- VSQPOPEFUA.IZAF_ZN » VSQPOPEFTUA.IZAF_ZN = Females - All ages - for KwaZulu-Natal
- VSQPOPETUA.IZAF » VSQPOPETTUA.IZAF = Both sexes - All ages
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
