List of oldest living people by country : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of oldest living people by country
This is a list of the oldest living people by country and lists the oldest people confirmed to be alive in the last year, sorted by country. This list supplements the list of oldest people by country. Comprehensive birth registration is largely a 20th-century phenomenon, so records establishing human longevity are necessarily fragmentary. The earliest comprehensive recordkeeping systems arose in Europe which makes the continent the only place that the lifespans of people born in the 19th century can be documented and verified to the standards of modern scientific research. For example, the United Kingdom organized a central recordkeeping system for England and Wales in 1837, making it compulsory by 1874.〔Guinness Book of Records. 1978 Edition.〕 The list of oldest people is heavily skewed toward developed nations. This is not necessarily simply due to better chances of survival. Additionally the proportion of world population of current developed nations was far higher over a century ago than today; the table of nations below represents less than 20% of the current global population, the European descended population alone constituted some 36% of the world population in 1900.〔Graziella Caselli; Gillaume Wunsch & Jacques Vallin (2005). Demography: Analysis and Synthesis, Four Volume Set: A Treatise in Population. Academic Press via Google Books. p. 42. ISBN 0-12-765660-X.〕 Similarly, Japan continues to drop in world population rankings. Those born in one country but who later moved to another are specifically noted. ==National records==
