Footnotes

1. Population estimates are currently based on the 2001 Census. These figures will be re-based using the 2011 Census data when it becomes available.

* Pensionable age is 65 for men, 60 for women until 2010; between 2010 and 2020 pensionable age for women rises to 65. Between 2024 and 2026 the pensionable age for both men and women increases to 66 and changes again, in two further steps, to 68 by 2046.

* More information can be found in 'Appendix 2 - Notes, definitions and quality of statistics' for definition of EU-15, EU-27 and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). The Eurostat projections of population in selected European countries are not directly comparable to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) projections of population in the countries of the UK. The Eurostat projections are based on estimates of the population at 1 January while the ONS projections are based on estimates of the population at 30 June. The methodologies in determining the underlying fertility, mortality and migration assumptions also differ.

* Glasgow Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) are based on five Community Health and Care Partnerships which existed before the new single CHP was set up on 22 March 2011.

2. 2010 is the first year of the latest household projections. The total number of households in this year is based on household estimates using Council Tax data for 2010, however the number of households in each household type are based on projections of 1991 and 2001 census data.
