Talk:List of countries by age at first marriage

message: Could we have updated figures please? Jojuj (talk) 11:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, in this case, median age is probably more representative of the typical age of marriage than the actual mean. This is because when you consider the range of ages (from about 18 to 60+), if you are to include those couple who first marry at age 40, 50, or 60, it would skew the average and make it appear that the "average age" is much higher than the "typical age"-which is represented by giving the median. --Kpstewart (talk) 21:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: * Reference 3 doesn't really provide any data.  It appears to be a conference organization website.  The data may've been presented at this conference (?) but there's no data on the website that supports the Wiki article....  any help?  Roadnottaken (talk) 19:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Ref #3 is invalid

message: Hi!
I find this article very interesting, but I think it should be good to create an article of Age at first child, now that article redirects to Advanced maternal age,
which gives no list of the countries, anyone has the information to create that article? I think, it would be interesting to compare the age of the mother at first child with ageing of Europe.

thread_title:  Suggestion for new article 

message: There are a _lot_ of "Citation needed" for most of the countries. I would really like to fill these in with verifiable references, but I am not sure where these numbers came from? I should think the UN has most of this data, but as anyone who has ever used UN data before, they are terrible at presenting their information in a user-friendly way. Any thoughts? PS: A lot of these data are probably outdated by now. --Thorwald (talk) 04:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations needed 

message: An obvious point, I know, but I did not see it discussed on the talk page. There are many countries represented in these statistics, across all continents except for Africa. Some of the sources cited for other countries do have related statistics - is it the problem that e.g. [2] and [7] cite "average" (one assumes mean average) instead of medians, as would be ideal?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.190.247.213 (talk) 14:56, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: This article is missing so many information. It lacks description and explanation. I would like to add the following:
- Better introduction and explanation of why the topic is important and what is the purpose of these data. 
- Explaining the Low, Average and High numbers in the data table
- Try to find out if the median has changes for some countries that the article did not have an updated data (2005 and lower)
- Add description of each continent and where they stand with their average. 
I found out a couple of reliable sources that could be helpful and relevant to this article:

thread_title:  Adding to the article 

message: Here, I've WP:BOLDly removed a para from the lead. Overall, the assertions in the para were unsupported. It does cite a source in support of the introductory clause of its first sentence, but the source cited is titled Australian Social Trends, 1997  and I'm guessing that it may not be representative of populations outside of Australia and outside of the year 1997. That source does cite another source which may be of wider applicability, but that is a study dated 1995 which may not be representative of the 24 year period between 1995 and 2019.

replies: text: I agree. It used to be easily navigable, but then more figures were added and It became less navigable. I suggest either a sortable list tab or a restructure of the article. BlacknoseDace (talk) 18:59, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is the list broken up into five different lists? 

message: Specifically to BlacknoseDace, before you re-add the map (which I assume you would intend to do), please can you ensure any "white space" is cropped out and that the layout is consistent with previous variants (e.g. on the latest variant, why is a small part of Russia at the left end rather than this starting with Alaska, like previously?). The increased size I think was also disproportionate. Bungle (talk • contribs) 17:17, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for letting me know. I'll edit the white space on the bottom out on the source image. I won't be able to make it exactly the same as the previous map because the new format removes some of the grey dots of dependent territories all around the globe that don't really need to be there.
